Rick Anderson - His Mets Career 1986

After spending 8 seasons in the Mets minor league system Rick Anderson finally made it to the show on June 9, 1986 as a 30 year old rookie. In his major league debut Anderson threw seven solid innings against the Phillies allowing just 4 hits and no earned runs.

He would pinch in 15 games for the Mets during their World Championship season as both a reliever and spot starter. He posted a 2 and 1 record with 1 save in 49.1 innings with a 2.72 ERA.

Unfortunately the Mets decided to leave him off the postseason roster instead taking Randy Niemann who was a lefty.

Following the season Anderson was traded along with Ed Hearn and Mauro Gozzo to the Kansas City Royals for David Cone and Chris Jelic.
