Steven Matz

Steven Jakob Matz
Batted: Right
Threw: Left
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Born: May 29, 1991 in Stony Brook, NY

Flashes of brilliance followed by head-scratching times of frustration. Steven started off his minor-league career with Tommy John surgery and a couple years of rehab, but when he finally got on track, he was like a freight train barreling through the minors. When he made his big-league debut in June of 2015, his career minor-league totals included an ERA of 2.29, having never been higher than 2.62 at any stop along the way. Continued injury problems followed, and he was never quite the same thereafter. He's shown here on 2017 Topps Archives, and on more cards below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
