The outcomes of the Mets’ games no longer matter. What might matter, though, is David Peterson rediscovering his best pitch.
Among the quieter and at the same time bigger disappointments this season has been Peterson, who was invaluable in 2022 as a pitcher who jumped in and out of the rotation, often excelling with a slider that no one could touch.
Peterson threw 12 sliders in total: One was a called strike, three were balls and zero were put in play. He also tied a career high with 10 strikeouts, predominantly with a pitch that started as a strike and then kept sliding out of the zone. If the lefty can bring the rediscovery into next season, the back of the Mets’ rotation would look a lot stronger.
Baty said the groin had bothered him for about a week, but it wasn’t until he stopped abruptly while rounding second base on Wednesday that he became concerned.
