Tylor Megill struggled with the Mets to start this season and has sunk even further into the abyss since his demotion last month.
With a brutal outing Sunday, the right-hander owns a 10.29 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Syracuse.Megill’s decline has flummoxed Mets officials, who are trying to get the 27-year-old back on a path toward the major leagues.
“It’s been a tough go for him,” Hefner said. “His fastball is still not where we want it and he’s working his butt off. This isn’t a passive thing we are going through. We are actively working on a lot of mechanical things and trying to get his pitch shape back to where it was last year.”Charles Wenzelberg
It followed a start against the same club in which he lasted only two innings and allowed eight earned runs on eight hits and one walk. Upon returning, Megill spoke of not trying to throw as hard as previously to decrease his risk of injury while saving his best heat for the late innings.Charles Wenzelberg
