Marcel Renteria might not be a household name, but he’s been with the Mets for a while and if there was a time for him to get a Non-Roster invite to Mets camp, it’s now. He was drafted in 6th round in 2017 out of New Mexico State and has moved up through the minors considered his age. With the exception of one inning of work in Binghamton in 2019, he has been above the average age for a player at level from New Mexico Sate until now.
He had a rough start as a Met in Brooklyn in 2017, 0.7 years older than the average player, pitching in 9 games over 11.1 innings. He allowed 15 hits and 12 earned runs. He bounced back the following year though in Columbia (1.1 years older than the average player) making 15 starts totaling 76.2 innings with a 4.23 ERA. He had similar numbers the following year in St. Lucie as a reliever pitching 62.1 innings over 37 games with a 4.62 ERA.

So, why is he in big league camp?
Because he throws 99, refined his pitching mechanics and has a wicked slider.
99 and nasty. Marcel Renteria sounds a little like...Sam McWilliams. I want a nasty staff, and the faster, the better.
Actually, perhaps Marco Renteria could be the next Juan Berenguer...struggled for a while, until he suddenly became quite good.
