While pitching in an instructional league in 2010, Matz experienced elbow discomfort. A doctor diagnosed him with an 80 percent tear in his ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow, and Matz underwent Tommy John surgery on May 18, 2010. His recovery lasted two years, during which he rehabbed regularly with fellow Mets organization pitcher Jacob deGrom. The two became close friends, and began living in the same house in Port St. Lucie, Florida during every spring training there. Matz did not make his professional debut until 2012, when he pitched for the Kingsport Mets of the Rookie-level Appalachian League. He initially continued to feel elbow pain, and doctors said they were not sure if the implanted ligament in his elbow had healed, but advised him to test it simply by playing and throwing as hard as he could. Eventually, the pain disappeared. Matz compiled a 2–1 record and 1.55 ERA in 29 innings pitched with Kingsport.
Matz finished the season at 11–10, marking his first winning record since 2016. He ended 2019 with a 4.21 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 52 walks, as well as new career-highs in strikeouts (153) and innings pitched (160 ⁄10 ).

The New York Mets selected Matz in the second round, with the 72nd overall selection, of the 2009 MLB draft, the same year he graduated from high school. He was the first player to be drafted directly out of Ward Melville High School. The Mets did not have a first round pick in that year’s draft and did not expect Matz to drop to them in the second round. Some Mets scouts attributed his drop to his playing high school baseball in the Northeast, an area which does not traditionally produce much high-round talent. Matz, who was seeking a $1.1 million signing bonus, received inquiries from three other teams during the draft, including the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox, but he ultimately passed on them with the hopes of making the Mets. Matz was originally committed to attend Coastal Carolina University to play college baseball for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, but the Mets agreed to sign him with a $895,000 bonus, which was not finalized until minutes before the August 15 signing deadline for draft picks. Matz had scheduled a flight to attend his orientation at Coastal Carolina for the next day.
Matz finished the first half of the season with a 4.89 ERA, and a 5–6 record, with an 11.40 ERA in the first innings across all his starts for the season. Over his next three outings, Matz had a 2–0 record with a 1.89 ERA, 15 strikeouts, and two walks. This included his first complete-game shutout on July 27, throwing 99 pitches, recording seven strikeouts, and allowing five hits as the Mets defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 3–0. It marked the eighth time in Mets history that a pitcher threw a shutout in under 100 pitches (known as a Maddux), and the first time since Johan Santana threw one in 2012. Matz and the rest of the Mets’ starting rotation recorded a post-All Star Break ERA of 2.62 through August 7, the best in the majors at that point, which helped place the Mets back into Wild Card contention despite them finishing the first half of the season 10 games under .500. By August 20, Matz had a 2.81 ERA and 3–1 record across his seven starts and 41 ⁄3 innings since the All-Star break, striking out 38 batters and allowing just three home runs, and recording a quality start in five of his previous six games. He also allowed no runs during the first innings of each of those seven starts, bringing his first-inning ERA down to 8.14.
