The New York Mets are all suited up in their home whites for picture day Tuesday, and their dominant pitching staff has congregated for a historic photo.
Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Bartolo Colon, Steven Matz, and Zack Wheeler posed for the cameras as a unit, which has the potential to establish itself as one of the best rotations in baseball history this year.

The Mets' stable of young hurlers (with the exception of Colon) could certainly rival the untouchable Atlanta Braves rotations from the 1990s that featured Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz.
However, Smoltz said last year the Mets' rotation is "way better" than Atlanta's ever was.
