In Focus - Brandon Sproat

Thomas Nestico                 @TJStats

Brandon Sproat made his 2025 debut in AAA today!



The Mets Top Prospect struggled with his command as he issued 3 BB on the day. He flashed his full arsenal, but the velocity was not nearly as high as it was last season

Not the way the top Mets pitching prospect wanted to start this season.

First inning was a little shaky… a walk, some groundouts, and then a single by ex-Met Trayce Thompson. Still, fastball was hitting 97.

Tom would tell you that pitching in 41 degrees was a factor. I would say it didn’t seem to bother the guy on the other team, ex-Met Michael Fulmer (4-IP, 0-R, 5-K).

Struck out the side in the second.

Ex-Met seems to be the theme here. Take team away, and you have a hell of first two innings.

Walks and pitch count got him in trouble in the third and he was pulled after Kevin Herget added more runs from the runners Sproat left on base.

What could have been…

So, a Syracuse Met prospect starter has started the season with a plus 10 ERA… where have I heard this song before?

BTW

Just got off with someone who should know details on the 60 day IL for C Yoanddy Rodriguez

He doesn't know anything

Hmm

They make hand warmers, don't they? Sproat needs to make us gloat and stop being the game's goat (actually that went to 3 HR Hagenman)
