Pitcher Zach Greene is swapping boroughs.
The right-handed hurler was picked up by the Mets in Wednesday’s Rule 5 Draft, snagging the 2019 eight-rounder away from the Yankees.. “Can’t wait to get to work! #LFGM.”The Florida native spent the 2022 season with Triple A Scranton-Wilkes Barre, posting some pretty eye-popping numbers: He went 9-0 with 96 strikeouts over 68 1/3 innings , along with a 3.42 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a .201 batting average against.
Greene, 26, will have to remain on the Mets’ 26-man roster all season or be offered back to the Yankees for $50,000. His Baseball America’s scouting report cites a low-90s fastball with a high spin rate, and it seems he has progressed nicely since, thanks, in part, to a plus slider.
