Luis Mey's Meteoric Rise for Cincinnati Reds May Be Start of Something Special
Mey had an up and down season in 2024, but solidified his 40-man appointment with a dominant performance in theMey began 2024 in Dayton where he had a solid 28.1% strikeout rate and a concerning 18.8% walk rate. Given that the league average walk rate is just over 8%, Mey was issuing an alarming amount of free passes.
He made his way to Chattanooga where he pitched just two less games than he did in Dayton. The alarming walk rate dropped, but not nearly enough.If he can cut the walk rate down to close to league average levels, Mey has the stuff to be a major league relief pitcher. He has a fastball that routinely hits 100 and mixes in a slider to keep hitters from sitting dead red.
The Reds routinely rotate through relief pitchers as the season goes along and Mey should be higher up on the list for a call up. I’d expect to see him around July 4.Jeff has hosted the only daily podcast covering the Cincinnati Reds since 2018. He’s been a life long fan of the Reds. He was at Clinchmas and the 2015 Home Run Derby. He is also the channel manager that supports all MLB podcasts on the Locked On Podcast Network.
