My nominee for worst pitcher in Mets history. He looked like a fine athlete, but he gave up 5 taters in 10 innings as a Met. I was at Shea for back-to-back-to-back gopher balls in one of those games and thought, "This guy is horrendous!"

Jonathan has been pitching in the Orient since 1998, and is still active. He has been pitching in the Chinese Professional Baseball League since then except 2001, when he pitched for the Yakult Swallows in Japan.

He has settled in Taiwan, and got married to a Taiwanese girl last year.

A sort of trivial issue, if anyone should care - both Melvin Mora, an ex-Met and a current star with the Orioles, and Jonathan played for the 1998 Mercury Tigers in Taiwan. However they did not play for the Tigers at the same time. On July 24th, 1998, Mora signed with the Mets, while Jonathan made his first for the Tigers on the same date.

Once listed in Mets Inside Pitch as the 500th player ever to play for the Mets. A big distinction going to a totally non distinct Met. Mets by the Numbers claims he was either 499 or 501, I forget which. I'll believe Mets Inside Pitch.

An excellent write-up on him in the November 2007 issue of INSIDE PITCH. He was quite the pitcher in Taiwan.

Hurst remains in the Mets organization as a pitching coach with Kingsport. I will take the high road here and not say anything further.

Correction to my memory from several years ago: Hurst did not give up three straight homers that time (4/14/94). There were two, sandwiching a walk, as he completed the job started by Mike Maddux in flushing a five-run lead. A single and a wild pitch followed, and he got the hook in mid-inning.

So the outing was as bad as I remembered overall. Yet the Mets came back to score two in the bottom of the 8th and win 10-9.
