The first pitch David Peterson threw Wednesday went out faster than it came in. But it got better after that for the left-hander and the Mets.
It was 91.2 mph out of his hand and 112.2 mph off Christopher Morel’s bat.
But, similar to what the Mets have seen out of him out of the bullpen since he was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in late June, Peterson didn’t fold. After a string of dismal starts in which Peterson allowed at least four earned runs in five consecutive outings, he was demoted to the minors. Across 30 innings pitched since his minor league stint, he has allowed just eight earned runs, a 2.40 ERA.
