The Mets' performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse since June 12, 2025, with a 69-93 record and a 35-game plummet from their previous year's pace. This decline can be attributed to a combination of factors, including poor management decisions and internal regression among players. Here's a breakdown of seven key players who have regressed the most over the past two years.
Francisco Lindor
Lindor's performance has taken a significant hit, dropping from an MVP-caliber player to a mere All-Star. His numbers have fallen from .294/.366/.533 with 37 HR and 98 RBI in 2024 to .252/.337/.436 with 19 HR and 53 RBI in 2025. This regression is particularly concerning, as it comes after a strong performance in the middle of 2024.
Mark Vientos
Vientos' performance has also taken a turn for the worse, moving from a cornerstone piece in the middle of New York's order to a fringe player. His numbers have fallen from .246/.304/.457 with 28 HR and 77 RBI in 2024 to .225/.266/.406 with 18 HR and 66 RBI in 2025.
Tyrone Taylor
Taylor's performance has regressed from an average bat with plus defense to an untenable bat whose defense is closer to average. His numbers have fallen from .249/.316/.390 with 6 HR and 30 RBI in 2024 to .195/.228/.305 with 4 HR and 30 RBI in 2025.
David Peterson
Peterson's performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with a 5.76 ERA and 2.1 WAR in 2025 compared to a 2.71 ERA and 3.7 WAR in 2024. This regression is particularly concerning, as it comes after a strong performance in 2024.
Sean Manaea
Manaea's performance has also taken a turn for the worse, with a 5.38 ERA and 0.7 WAR in 2025 compared to a 3.05 ERA and 1.9 WAR in 2024. This regression is particularly concerning, as it comes after a strong performance in 2024.
Kodai Senga
Senga's performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse, with a 6.94 ERA and -0.4 WAR in 2025 compared to a 1.59 ERA and 1.8 WAR in 2024. This regression is particularly concerning, as it comes after a strong performance in 2024.
Tylor Megill
Megill's performance has also taken a turn for the worse, with a 7.36 ERA and -0.1 WAR in 2025 compared to a 4.00 ERA and 2.2 WAR in 2024. This regression is particularly concerning, as it comes after a strong performance in 2024.
In conclusion, the Mets' performance has taken a sharp turn for the worse since June 12, 2025, and this decline can be attributed to a combination of factors, including poor management decisions and internal regression among players. It remains to be seen whether the team can recover from this decline and regain their previous form.
