Jon Niese

Jonathon Joseph Niese
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 215 lbs.
Born: October 27, 1986 in Lima, OH
Drafted: 7th round 2005 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Neil Walker, December 2015
Acquired: traded from the Pirates for Antonio Bastardo, August 2016
Departed: buyout option exercised, October 2016

 

He was born on the day the Mets won the 1986 World Series. Jon became the best pitching prospect the Mets had remaining in the minors after they emptied out the vault to obtain Johan Santana in 2008, and he did not disappoint, riding a strong combined performance for Binghamton and New Orleans all the way to the big club in September.  For several years afterward, he was one of the Mets' most durable and consistent starters, despite never cracking the threshold of 200 innings.  Was traded to the Pirates after 2015, and then came back to the Mets halfway through the next season, where he was (to put it kindly) ineffective.  He's shown here on 2015 Topps Heritage, and several more cards are pictured 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.
