MACK –
RELIEF PITCHING
I am breaking up pitching into four separate posts.
One, for RED Prospect
relievers.
The second and third for BLUE prospect
relievers (the list is so long).
The fourth is for GREEN
almost prospects.
I will save rating relievers until all three posts regarding
them are completed.
Here are my RED Prospect
relievers:
MLB/Mets – Devin Williams –
(32) – RHRP – 2nd rd. 2013 –
2026: 44-apps, -0.5-WAR, 3-2, 4.43, 1.57, 40.2-IP,
21-BB, 52-K
The Mets looked past last seasons disappointing season with
the Yankees (-0.3-WAR, 4.79) and dreamed of the 1.25, 1.53, and 1.93-ERAs he
produced in the three pervious years for his original team, Milwaukee. It just
didn’t happen.
Williams is signed through 2028, so he gets two more shots
at this. He also has 517-K in a career of 338.1-IP.
My money is on him.
MLB/Mets – Reed Garrett –
(33) – RHRP – 16th rd. 2014 –
2026: on injured reserve (Tommy John Surgery)
In September 2026, he successfully threw live bullpen
sessions, facing hitter. Told everyone that his are felt strong and would be
ready to return on opening day 2027.
Garrett was signed through this past season for $1.3mil, but
becomes arbitration-eligible for three years, ending with the 2029 season.
Prior to the injury, he had two workhorse seasons for the
Mets (2024: 53-apps, 3.77… 2025: 58-apps, .390). Not all-star team stats, but
good for a horse that works. Garrett has turned into the ultimate junk pitcher…
currently only 4% of his repertoire is his 4-seam fastball.
I expect him to return to the same role he performed for the
Mets in 24/25.
AAA/Syracuse – Saul Garcia –
(23) – RHRP – IFA 2021 –
2026: AA/Binghamton – 44-apps, 1-2, 3.99, 1.25,
49.2-IP, 19-BB, 66-K
AAA/Syracuse - 7-apps, 1-0, 1.64, 0.64, 11.0-1P, 3-BB,
8-K
Garcia had a remarkable 2025 (A+/AA: 1.70), but regressed a
little this past season for the B-Mets; however, he seems to be back on track
after seven appearances at the AAA level.
The sky is the limit for him on 2027, but he’s going to need
more time in Syracuse before he can be considered for the parent team.
AA/Binghamton – Bryce Jenkins –
(25) – RHRP – 17TH rd. 2023 –
2026: A+/Brooklyn – 32-apps, 4-2, 1.99, 0.79,
40.2-IP, 15-BB. 47-K
AA/Binghamton – 13-apps, 4-0, 0.66,
1.09, 13.2-IP, 5-BB, 14-K
It’s hard to find anything done wrong in 2026 by Jenkins.
Yes, his WHIP went up a when he was promoted to AA-ball, but his ERA went way
down. I mean one total earned run down. Where he starts off next season is
still undetermined. His age might push him to AAA.
Either way, he looks like a star in the making.

If Saul Garcia is THAT good, they will have to add him to the 40, so he is not taken in the possible Rule 5, then. I saw this snippet from BB America, which looked promising: Pitching from a lower release height, Garcia sits 94-96 mph with more than 2500 rpm of spin on average.
Jenkins will soon hit moment-of-truth AAA, then we will see.
I did see this: Bryce Jenkins' fastball generally sits in the 93–94 mph range and regularly tops out around 96–97 mph.
So he is neither flamethrower nor soft-tosser.
I guess the hardest throwers, Ross and Lambert, are in your blue prospects.
