Here's how long it took the Mets to appear in the World Series after a Met won the ROY award:

Tom Seaver - 1967 ROY -- next Mets WS appearance: two years after;
Jon Matlack - 1972 ROY -- next Mets WS appearance: one year after;
Darryl Strawberry - 1983 ROY -- next Mets WS appearance: three years after;
Dwight Gooden - 1984 ROY -- next Mets WS appearance: two years after;
Jacob deGrom - 2014 ROY -- next Mets WS appearance: ???????????
