Brandon Sproat’s latest dominant pitching performance earned him a bump within one stop of the major leagues.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Sproat, who began the season at High-A Brooklyn, has appeared in 17 games overall and pitched to a 2.05 ERA with 110 strikeouts in 87 ²/₃ innings.Sproat concluded his outing against New Hampshire on Friday with 11 straight strikeouts.Brett Baty working his way back into Mets’ plans after latest surge in Triple-AThe 23-year-old Sproat, with his 100-mph heat, is clearly on the Mets’ radar as a potential late-season call-up.
“We are paying attention, especially after an outing like last night,” manager Carlos Mendoza said before the Mets faced the Angels. “It’s good to see our guys develop and continue to make progress and we are definitely going to need a lot of them and are continuing to pay close attention.” “We just want him to continue to develop,” Mendoza said. “Hopefully he continues to put himself where he’s in the conversation.”Pete Alonso entered play Saturday with three homers in his past five games.
Reed Garrett was scheduled to pitch Saturday for Double-A Binghamton in his first minor league rehab appearance since he was placed on the injured list last month with right elbow swelling, but the game was rained out. Mendoza cited Jose Butto’s recent usage in the decision to limit the right-hander to two innings in relief on Friday instead of letting him pursue a second straight three-inning save.Vividseats: Official Ticketing Partner of New York PostInside Mark Leiter Jr.'s 'out-of-body' Yankees trade deadline day: flight delay, clutch PitchCom, meet the catcher
