WASHINGTON — The 1,000th strikeout of David Robertson’s career came Friday night on a 92.4-mph cutter to Nationals outfielder Alex Call.
In a clubhouse filled with higher-profile pitchers attempting to conquer age, such as Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, the most successful Mets pitcher fighting Father Time, at least early in the season, has been Robertson, their closer. But Robertson still was untouchable in the process and added four more strikeouts to his ledger, including the milestone.
Advancements such as surgeries and pitching technologies have made it easier to age as a pitcher, and the Mets — fronted by age-defying starters Scherzer and Verlander, who are a combined 78 years old — hope to be the beneficiaries.
