Edwin Diaz celebrates with Francisco Alvarez after closing out the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks on Aug. 29, 2024.Diaz said he consulted with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner after his latest letdown and decided a mechanical change was needed. On Wednesday, he entered in the eighth inning for a four-out save but walked two batters to load the bases“I just follow my catchers,” Diaz said when asked about the decision to largely abandon his slider.
“It means a lot because we are playing in playoff games and this team needs me,” Diaz said. “I have got to be ready every day, and I have got to do my job always. Today was a good bounce-back day, and I have to keep going now — keep getting outs and keep winning games.”
