Nolan McLean (NYM) made his AAA debut!
McLean
fired off 7 scoreless innings with 7 K as he flexed his high-octane arsenal.
McLean wields a wide array of pitches including one of the nastiest sweepers in
MiLB. He is a rapidly rising pitching prospect.
Here is
Nolan McLean's (NYM) arsenal reclassified
Some
quick thoughts
- Deep
pitch mix
- Sweeper
as advertised
- The
slider at 90 MPH is sweet
-
Fastballs are decent at 95-96 MPH
This is one of the best pitching prospects in MLB!
Mack –
This is big news.
We all have been trying to determine which
starter would be the first to emerge from Syracuse this season. Would it be
Tidwell, or Sproat. Well, McLean just put a wrench to that question.
This was, as close as it could have been, a
perfect outing. There wasn’t one barrel. Think on that. Not one opponent batter
put their bat properly on one damn pitch. Every hit was a single. The two
hardest balls were groundouts. And the majority of balls thrown out of the zone
were designed to do that. Near perfect.
So, who’s first now? Well, with the Mets
current rotation already leading the league with the lowest ERA, and two
original rotation pieces scheduled to come back in the next 30 days, I don’t
see anyone hopping the shuttle from Syracuse to LaGuardia this season.
But boy… with Christian Scott returning next
spring, and these three starters ready, the Mets seem to have finally be
growing a proper rotation for years to come.

McLean is for real - I hope he can still touch 98 with the fastball.
I want to see him pitching in Queens - and pinch hitting on some rare occasions. Light tower power.
I don't believe he hit 98 last night but his control was a mazing... with a capital MAZING.
Love velo but I'll take control every day. Even night games.
I'd say that McLean has advanced to the top of the class. Sproat has to develop some movement on his fastball, too hittable in the majors. Needs time in the lab. Someone teach him the DeGrom rising fastball.
I must be missing something with Christian Scott Mack. I sure hope you are right. After his first game or two I thought he was very hittable.
Any guesstimate as to when McLean ascends to THE SHOW???
You are missing Scott. So did I when I wrote earlier
I have McLean ceiling ahead of Scott, but Christian ahead of all the other guppies
My ETA is opening day rotation 2026
Do not get down on Sproat because of his lackluster 2025 so far
The talent is there
Having close friend McLean on same team will help
Mack, can you tell me what you see in Scott because I felt he was very average. No better than what we have.
I liked his command of the game. To me, a more talented Mike Pelfrey. Nothing flashy. Could be future innings eater
Get him in the lab as soon at the Doc says go
Thank you, can never have enough pitching
