There have been people considered New York Mets killers before. Chipper Jones, Chase Utley, and Manuel Margot (yes, Margot, look it up, it’s crazy) come to mind as just a few. However, none of them compare to Paul Sterling DeJong.
DeJong is a rather unremarkable baseball player. His best season came in his rookie year in 2017, and he’s been on a steady downhill since.
