Player Review: Jared Hughes
2020 Stats: 18 Appearances, 22.1 Innings Pitched, 1-2 Won-Loss Record, 4.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, 2 Holds, 21:14 K:BB Ratio, -0.3 WAR
Story: Jared Hughes was left without a job at the end of spring training when the Houston Astros cut him shortly after the sport shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Sensing an opportunity, the Mets added Hughes prior to summer camp to bolster their bullpen, but his debut was delayed after he tested positive for COVID-19. Hughes made his Mets’ debut in early August and came out of the gate hot, pitching to a 2.70 ERA for the month as he quickly entered Luis Rojas’ circle of trust. The Mets began to lean heavily on Hughes and he started to wear down as Rojas asked him for long relief outings, with three blowup outings in September pushing his ERA well over four.
