Today I was going to try and examine how the Mets did against the AL MVP but since Justin Verlander already won and we already examined him last week, I decided to look at how the Mets did against NL rookie of the year, Craig Kimbrel.
Overall he was extremely effective against the Mets. The Mets faced Kimbrel in 9 innings over 9 games. During this time he had six save opportunities and he converted all 6. He fanned 12, walked 3 and gave up only six hits and one run (which came from a solo shot hit by Luca Duda, that snapped a 48 2/3 streak of not giving a home run up). He pitched the most innings against the Mets and the Nats (tied at 9) for some comparison, he was about as effective against Washington. He blew one save against them and gave up six hits, 2 runs and struck out 21.
