31 pitchers have had at least 100 plate appearances as batters for the Mets. Only one has accumulated an on base percentage over .250 in his batting career for the Mets: Tom Glavine, who is more than 30 points higher than anyone else on the list. The top 5 (thank you baseball-reference.com Play Index):
1. Tom Glavine .268 OBP
T2. Rick Aguilera/ Ray Sadecki .236
4. Jon Matlack .230
5. Tom Seaver .217
Note that at age 41, Glavine's OBP as a hitter in 2007 thus far is over .300.
On the slugging side, the list looks like this:
1. Rick Aguilera .290 SLG
2. Doc Gooden .260
3. Sid Fernandez .232
4. Tug McGraw .229
5. Rick Reed .227
(Of course, I'm only including true pitchers here -- not stunt pitchers of an inning or two like Todd Zeile.)
