Citi Field Power Surge 2017

G-Fafif Apr 10 2017 03:07 PM

Six Met home runs on the first homestand, causing slight ripples amid the all-time regular Citi Field Met roundtripper standings. • Lucas Duda extends his first-place lead over David Wright to eleven after belting No. 61. • Wilmer Flores, with HR No. 25, creeps to within two of Daniel Murphy for fifth place. • Yoenis Cespedes unknots a tie with Jose Reyes, his 20th HR putting him in seventh place. • Michael Conforto's twelfth gives him sole possession of the fourteenth slot after sharing it with Kirk Nieuwenhuis. • Jay Bruce's pair of circuit blasts elevated him into a four-way tie for 27th. Bruce has five, along with Justin Turner, Rod Barajas and Gary Sheffield. Your Top 10 after 654 regular-season games: 1. DUDA 61 2. WRIGHT 50 3. GRANDERSON 32 4. Davis 30 5. Murphy 27 6. FLORES 25 7. CESPEDES 20 8. REYES 19 9. CABRERA 18 10 D'ARNAUD 16

Eight of the first 10 being active is sort of impressive.

I guess I don't mean to suggest that the Mets are providing impressive power (though they are), but rather I guess that they are providing impressive retention. Daniel Murphy excepted.

Notable through the most recent homestand: • Flores at 25, two behind Murphy for fifth place • Reyes and Cespedes tied in seventh with 20 apiece • Conforto with 15, tied with Pagan, one out of the Top 10 • Walker alone in fifteenth place with 12 • Bruce alone in nineteenth place with 8 • Rene edging T.J. in the Riverastakes for the time being, 4 to 3.

I assume no opponents have more than Stanton's 20?

As we speak, the Three Amigos from last season's playoff drive -- Cespedes, Reyes and Cabrera -- are tied for 7th with 20 Citi Field HRs apiece. Gosh, those guys do everything together.

The chart, it is a changin' a little. With July 31 looming, some of the Citi Field All-Time Home Run stalwarts may have swatted their last in a home Mets uniform. Or not. We'll see. Conforto has been the big mover, surging into seventh place. Flores has steadily climbed into a two-way tie for fourth with Ike Davis. Cespedes has stalled in tenth place, trailing Cabrera and the resilient Reyes, while d'Arnaud is stuck in the mud in the eleventh. Updated standings through July 23, 2017. DUDA 71 WRIGHT 50 GRANDERSON 36 FLORES 30 Davis 30 Murphy 27 CONFORTO 24 CABRERA 22 REYES 22 CESPEDES 21 D'ARNAUD 16 Pagan 15 BRUCE 14 WALKER 14 Beltran 14 Hairston 13 Nieuwenhuis 11 Bay 10 Francoeur 9 LAGARES 7 (tied with three others for 20th place) T. RIVERA 6 (tied with four others for 24th place) R. RIVERA 5 (tied with three others for 29th place) Two have 4 (tied for 33rd place) REYNOLDS 3 (tied with eight others for 35th place) Twelve have 2 (tied for 44th place) Lugo, deGrom, Nimmo, Harvey, Syndergaard, Plawecki 1 (tied with 17 others for 56th place)

Today's HR by Giancarlo Stanton (just one so far although there may be more to come) gives him [u:2z2p6t8l]101 at Marlins Park[/u:2z2p6t8l] since that stadium opened ... in a park that's bigger than CitiField, and two years newer. Just sayin'

Edgy MD Aug 13 2017 06:58 PM Re: Citi Field Power Surge 2017

Duda's pinned the flag up there nicely at 71. I think the best candidate to take that from him is Conforto, currently in fifth place. Duda, of course, could sign with the Phillies or somebody and keep adding to his total.

Frayed Knot Aug 13 2017 07:10 PM Re: Citi Field Power Surge 2017

Well, GF's list above is as a NYM only (otherwise Murph would be in 3rd place with 32*) so Duda's not likely to be adding to his total anytime soon. Stanton, btw, is one behind Cespedes for CitiField HRs. Utley has a mere 14 * he also hit one at Shea in 67 career ABs

With two homestands remaining, several totals are frozen and at least one may be getting loose in Port St. Lucie. As always, this is as Mets, regular-season at Citi Field, 2009-present. Bold indicates current Met, active roster or DL. 1. Duda 71 2. Wright 50 3. Granderson 38 4. Flores 33 5. Davis 30 6. Conforto 27 6. Murphy 27 8. Cespedes 24 9. Cabrera 22 9. Reyes 22 11. d’Arnaud 17 12. Pagan 15 13. Walker 14 13. Bruce 14 13. Beltran 14 16. Hairston 13 17. Nieuwenhuis 11 18. Bay 10 19. Francoeur 9 20. Lagares 7 20. R. Rivera 7 20. Recker 7 20. Byrd 7 20. Valdespin 7 Dominic Smith is on the board with 2 and Amed Rosario has notched 1. Other active Mets' totals: T.J. Rivera, 6; Matt Reynolds, 3; Kevin Plawecki, 2; and Brandon Nimmo, Seth Lugo, Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard with 1 apiece.

They're done slugging at Citi Field for 2017. When Dominic Smith went deep in home game 81, the videoboard informed us it was the 100th Met home run of the season hit at the death valley turned band box. In the postgame notes, it said 101. Either way, the homers continued to fly this year. Hard to believe there was a time they barely crawled. Here's how the power has surged on all-time regular-season basis through nine seasons.
