The 2010 New York Mets season was highlighted by a strong start and several remarkable individual performances, including a dominant breakout year from knuckleballer R.A. Dickey and a resilient All-Star campaign from David Wright. Fans at Citi Field enjoyed a thrilling June where the team surged into postseason contention with an 18-8 record, supported by a much-improved pitching staff featuring Mike Pelfrey and Jon Niese. While the team finished with a 79-83 record, the season provided many memorable moments, such as a historic three-game shutout sweep of the first-place Phillies and the exciting debut of top prospect Ike Davis. The 18th overall pick in the 2008 MLB Draft, Ike Davis was a powerful first baseman for the New York Mets who hit 32 home runs in 2012 and set several franchise rookie records.
