Part 30 of 30 – Noah Syndergaard. The final entry in our projections review last year will also be one that doesn’t quite make sense to do since he was lost due to injury in late April.

2017 Review:
1-2, 7 G, 30.1 IP, 2.97 ERA, 3 BB, 34 K, 1.055 WHIP
Basically this is an exercise in does the ERA and WHIP the projections computers thought Syndergaard would have match 7 starts he made, two of which were 1.0 innings at the end of the season. The answer is, yeah? His ERA was a 20 points higher, his WHIP was three points lower. His work was 130 innings down.
The Mets need Syndergaard to have a chance in 2018. I am curious to see how the projection programs handle his 2017 injury for his 2018 numbers.
