The New York Mets may not be known for their postseason success, but their five appearances in the National League Division Series tell a different story. With a perfect 5-0 record across 1999, 2000, 2006, 2015, and 2024, the Mets have matched the Toronto Blue Jays as the only franchises to go undefeated in this round.
Their dominance in these games has been marked by unforgettable moments, from clutch pitching to game-changing hits. In 2015, Jacob deGrom made an immediate impact in his postseason debut, striking out 13 Dodgers in Game 1—a performance that tied a Mets postseason record and showcased his future Cy Young-caliber dominance.
That same year, Yoenis Céspedes delivered a three-run home run in Game 3 to propel the Mets forward, while John Franco’s late-inning strikeout of Barry Bonds in 2000 preserved a series-tying win in a thrilling Game 2 at San Francisco. Even in their earliest playoff run, the Mets’ offense exploded in 1999 when Carlos Alfonzo hit a grand slam in Game 1, setting the tone for their championship push.
