The Mets trades before and during the season have changed the landscape of the Mets pitching prospects. The pitchers remaining in the system have had interesting years with some of the players having breakout and rebound seasons.

The biggest breakout season of these starters was Kevin Smith. The 2018 seventh round draft pick began to quiet those concerns he would be nothing more than a reliever to making his way to Double-A Binghamton in his first full season. In Binghamton, he would post a very promising 3.23 FIP making him and Peterson two starting pitchers who could be viewed upon as viable starting rotation options for the Mets in the not too distant future.
