"Kodai Senga has the best numbers of anyone on the Mets this season, but it's the pitcher with the 4.65 career ERA who might be having the better season."
"Despite injuries to key pitchers in the rotation and the bullpen, Jeremy Hefner has guided the Mets to an MLB-best 2.89 ERA."
"A career that Hefner wasn't even looking at when he called it quits as a player nearly a decade ago."

Kodai Senga stands out for his impressive statistics this season, yet itâs Hefner's experience and guidance, especially considering his own tumultuous career marked by injuries, that has resulted in the team's success.
