We're looking for pitchers who struck out at least 200 batters in a season for a team other than the Mets after being dealt away from the Mets organization.

One guess per post. No two in a rowing. If you submit a guess, you may not submit another guess until at least one other poster has submitted a guess.

I start with the easiest one: Nolan Ryan.

Yes.

Mike Scott

Seaver

Tom Seaver

David Cone?

Yes.

Outnicked in time.

Yes.

Zack Wheeler?

Yes.

Yes.

One more to go.

A point of order: Zack Wheeler wasn't "dealt away from the organization" as such, but left as a free agent of his own accord. Are we therefore to assume the list of pitcher you are looking for includes pitchers who left as free agents?

Wow, really? It's a shorter list than I would have guessed.

Jerry Koosman

Yes. That was a phrasing error on my part. My bad. Here's the question, properly rephrased: We're looking for pitchers who struck out at least 200 batters in a season for a team other than the Mets after playing in the Mets organization.

The most batters Koosman struck out in a season after being dealt from the Mets was 157.
