213 Miles From Shea - Get To Know A Non-Roster Invitee: Arodys Vizcaino

 






Posted on  by Elliot Teichman

Arodys Vizcaino is another pitcher the Mets are bringing in to find their way back to the major leagues. Vizcaino was drafted by the Yankees in 2007 and was traded in 2009 with Melky Cabrera and Mike Dunn to the Braves for Boone Logan and Javier Vazquez. He would make his debut in 2011 and then was traded at the 2012 deadline with Jaye Chapman to the Cubs for Reed Johnson and Paul Maholm. He was traded again by the Cubs back to the Braves for Tommy La Stella at the end of the 2014 season. He then stayed with the Braves for a while until he was traded in May 2019 to the Mariners for former Met Anthony Swarzak. (Of note – this trade happened after Arodys had a season ending shoulder injury/surgery).

Anyway, Arodys has been a reliever his entire time in the major league and was hitting his stride from from 2017 on. In 2017 he posted a 2.83 ERA over 62 games and 57.1 innings. That year he had a 3.72 FIP, 1.099 WHIP and a 155 ERA+. The next year was even better – in 39 games and 38.1 innings he had a 2.11 ERA, 3.76 FIP, 1.174 WHIP and a 195 ERA+.
