MACK – Hot Arms – Mauricio Nunez, Victor Gallegos, Bryce Jenkins

 

Let’s get to know three more hot Mets pitchers:

 

PERIOD:     6/22-7/5

 

Mauricio Nunez/DSL Orange – 1.50-WHIP, 4-IP, 4-K. 4-BB, 0.00-ERA

Mauricio Nunez is a 17-year-old left-handed pitching prospect in the New York Mets organization.

Born: August 14, 2008 (age 17).

Bats/Throws: Left/Left.

Size: 6'0", 160 lbs.

Signed: By the Mets as an international free agent on January 15, 2026, to a minor league contract.

Current Assignment: DSL Mets Orange (Dominican Summer League), assigned on May 29, 2026.

He is a very young, low-level international signee working his way through the Mets' Dominican Summer League affiliate.

Nunez represents one of the Mets' newer international pitching additions aimed at building depth in their lower-level systems.

 

Victor Gallegos/DSL Orange – 2.25-WHIP, 4-IP, 3-K, 3-BB, 1-ER, 0.75-ERA

Victor Gallegos is an 18-year-old right-handed pitcher (R/R) in the New York Mets organization, currently playing in the Dominican Summer League (DSL) for the DSL Mets Orange.

Born: July 14, 2007 (age 18), in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico  

Height/Weight: 6'2" / 185 lbs.

Signed: June 11, 2026, by the Mets as an international free agent; assigned to the DSL Mets Orange on June 13, 2026.

Gallegos, from Sonora, Mexico, developed through the Caudillos Sports Academy (which gave him a scholarship after a national championship in Meoqui, Chihuahua) and later the Academia Prospectos del Sur in Veracruz.

Mets scouts noticed him there, leading to his professional signing. He is a recent addition to the Mets' international development pipeline, typical for young Latin American talent starting in the DSL.

He is a very new, low-level prospect with limited public scouting reports or advanced metrics available so far. As a tall, projectable right-hander just beginning his career, the Mets will focus on development, innings, and refining his stuff in the DSL before potential moves to higher levels (e.g., Florida Complex League or beyond).

 

PERIOD:    6/24 – 7/7

 

Bryce Jenkins/Brooklyn – 0.86-WHIP, 4.2-IP, 6-K, 3-BB, 0.00-ERA

Bryce Jenkins is a right-handed relief pitcher in the New York Mets organization (born April 3, 2001, age 25 as of mid-2026).

He stands 5'11" and 175 lbs, bats/throws R/R, and is from Knoxville, TN.

He played at Hardin Valley Academy, spent time at Cleveland State Community College (NJCAA), then transferred to the University of Tennessee.

The Mets drafted him in the 17th round (516th overall) in 2023 and signed him for $180,000.

Jenkins had a strong college showing at Tennessee in 2023 (high strikeout rate in limited relief innings) and impressed briefly in the Cape Cod League.

He made his pro debut in 2023 but required Tommy John surgery shortly after, which wiped out most of 2024 and delayed 2025.

2023 (limited): Rough early results in short stints (high walks).

2025 (rehab/return): Split time in FCL and Single-A St. Lucie; struggled with command (high walks) but showed strikeout ability.

2026 (Brooklyn Cyclones, A+): Strong relief work

He's viewed as a depth relief prospect with upside from his breaking ball.

Pitch Repertoire

Pre-TJ, Jenkins used a two-fastball mix (sinker + four-seamer, both ~92 mph average) plus high-spin breaking balls.

Post-surgery (and with a new slider added right before the injury), he has focused on differentiation and velocity gains.

Key pitches (based on reports and typical pro scouting):

Fastball (Four-seam and/or Sinker): Sits low-90s, has reached 95+ mph post-TJ (topped 95.4 mph). Features some run or ride depending on the variant. Primary pitch for strikes and setting up others.

Slider: High-spin breaker (historically 2900+ rpm, up to 3020+; more recently ~2770 in AFL). Sharp two-plane movement; a key weapon the Mets liked at draft time. He's emphasized a "new" slider for better separation from his other breaker and increased usage in relief.

Second Breaking Ball (likely curveball or cutter/sweeper variant): He has worked to keep two distinct breakers with different shapes/speeds to avoid blending.

Changeup (occasional/earlier): Mentioned in amateur scouting (low-80s), but less emphasis now as he's streamlined in pro ball/relief.

Style/Role: Athletic, repeatable mechanics from a 3/4 slot. Bullpen-focused with strikeout stuff (high K rates) but command has been inconsistent at times (walks were an issue in 2025). Post-TJ adjustments include better velocity, refined breakers, and building innings.

He's a classic high-spin reliever prospect with swing-and-miss potential, especially if he sharpens his command and fastball consistency.

Reese Kaplan -- There Actually Is Some Good Mets 2026 News

Considering how the Mets season has unfolded it has become a maelstrom of negativity among fans, media types and frankly anyone with eyes who witness all of the horror happening under David Stearns’ control.  We don’t need to reiterate the very many things that have gone wrong.  Nor do we need to rehash how nothing has been done to quell the firestorm.  

No, today let’s instead look at the things that have gone right and how there might be a bright side to the overwhelming darkness.  Surprisingly, the first look is at who takes the mound every fifth day to provide 5+ innings pitched as a starter.

For a team that has gone through the Sean Manaea, Kodai Senga, David Peterson and other misfit starters, it must be an almost biblical level revelation to see the performances being put together by Nolan McLean, Christian Scott and now Zac Thornton. 

Nolan McLean did not come as a surprise to anyone who witnessed the mediocrity of the 2025 season when he was summoned up after Jonah Tong as an emergency starting pitcher replacement.  His ERA in 2025 in the major leagues was a highly impressive 2.06 over eight games.  

Some cast aspersions on the man because over 20 starts in 2026 his ERA is 3.34 which is frankly first pitcher performance on most teams.  If you track his other numbers they are right along with what he did during his major league breakthrough a year ago.  He’s for real.  How good he’ll become is still a great unknown but he’s certainly part of the new guard.

Christian Scott became something of a forgotten hurler when he missed more than a year due to injury.  In 2024 while ailing he pitched to a 4.56 ERA.  That’s not horrible but it didn’t parallel the gaudy numbers he had in the minors.  After missing the rest of that year and all of 2025 he is now completely healthy and the results are reflecting it.  He’s got a 2.87 ERA while striking out 10.9 per 9 innings pitched.  

He’s certainly most welcome and in a way is the right handed Jerry Koosman to Nolan McLean being the latter day Tom Seaver.

The third one is a huge surprise to many people Zac Thornton has hurled two stellar games in a row and a third earlier in the season.  He’s shown stellar control and a WHIP under 1.000 while pitching to a 2.60 ERA.  While this good fortune is most welcome it is, obviously, over a very small sample size but it would appear Thornton is another key cog in the 2027 rotation. 

Also, let's not forget still injured Clay Holmes who is now on his rehab assignment, pitching games again after a long period recovering from his fractured fibula.  While David Stearns took something of a chance by inking Holmes to a starting pitcher contract after he earned his way in the majors as a reliever, he demonstrated he was up to the task.  Over 31 starts last season he owned a 3.53 ERA which is probably even better than anticipated.  

Then he followed it up with 9 starts in 2026 with the ERA dropping to just 2.39.  The issue now is how to extend him before he opts out for free agency or the front office makes a very short sighted trade deadline transaction.

MACK - MORE POSSIBLE RHPs AVAILABLE IN A TRADE

 

Yesterday, we took a look at some possible righties that could be available in a mid-season trade.

Today…  more righties:

Remember… AAA and AA players only.

 

Karson Milbrandt – Miami Marlins – AAA

                2026:  AA:  9-ST, 4-1, 1.34, 1.00, 47-IP, 17-BB, 70-K

                          AAA:  7-G, 6-ST, 0-2, 5.67, 1.81, 27-IP, 24-BB, 25-K

Four-Seam Fastball (primary pitch, sits ~94-96 mph, touches 98-99 mph): High-spin with impressive ride/carry, especially effective elevated in the zone. Generates whiffs and plays well up.

Slider/Gyro Slider (heavily used secondary; mid-to-upper 80s, often ~86-88 mph): Sharp two-plane break or gyro action. A consistent swing-and-miss pitch with good command/chase. Frequently described as "nasty" or dominant.

Sweeper (added/developed more recently; mid-80s with more lateral depth): Bigger breaking action than a typical slider. Has become a key weapon with high whiff rates.

Curveball (downer, low-80s, ~78-84 mph): Strong vertical depth (11-to-5 shape). Flashes plus and pairs well for tunneling or burying.

Cutter (upper-80s, e.g., ~87-89 mph): Filthy horizontal break, especially tough on lefties (down-and-in). Has shown elite whiff rates in limited use.

Changeup (developing/"kick change," lower usage; high-80s with fade/sink): Added for depth against lefties. Improving but still the least consistent/used pitch.

 

 

Elmer Rodríguez – New York Yankees – AAA 

             2026:  AAA:  13-ST, 5-3, 2.85, 1.30, 66.1-IP, 34-BB, 67-K

                         MLB:  4-ST, 0-2, 4.76, 1.76, 17-IP, 11-BB, 10-K

             Slider — Top secondary offering; 82-85 mph (sometimes upper 80s) with sweep and depth.

            Sinker (two-seam fastball) — Strong movement (armside run/tail); often his best pitch for   inducing weak contact and groundouts.

Splitter / Changeup — Upper-80s; generates chases and swings-and-misses.

Cutter — Part of his expanded mix.

Curveball — Upper-70s; complements the slider for shape variety.

 

Carlos Lagrange – New York Yankees – AAA

                2026:  AAA - 18-G, 11-ST, 1-4, 4.55, 1.36, 63.1-IP, 33-BB, 83-K

Fastball (primary pitch): Parks at 97-99 mph, peaks at 102-103 mph with carry and armside run. It's a high-grade offering (often graded 70) that generates swing-and-miss and sets up his other pitches.

Sweeper/Slider: Sweeping mid-80s slider (around 82-85 mph) with significant horizontal break; a key swing-and-miss pitch. He also throws a higher-velocity slider (upper 80s to low 90s).

Cutter: Upper-80s cutter that has shown strong effectiveness.

Changeup: Low-90s offering with depth and fade; often more effective than the slider in some seasons.

Sinker (occasional): Used in small percentages for ground balls.

 

 

Christian Zazueta – Los Angeles Dodgers – AA

                2026:  A+   11-G, 10-ST, 2-2, 3.88, 0.97, 48.2-IP, 12-BB, 66-K

                         AA:   4-ST, 0-0, 2.12, 0.76, 17-IP, 1-BB, 27-K

Fastball (4-seam): His signature pitch. Sits 97-99 mph (peaks at 102-103 mph) with good carry and arm-side run. High-velocity heater that misses bats up in the zone. Usage around 30-32% in some samples.

Slider/Sweeper: Primary breaking ball. Sweeping mid-80s slider (82-85 mph) with significant horizontal movement; can be plus. He also throws a harder slider/cutter variant with shorter, late break. Strong whiff rates.

Cutter: Upper-80s offering with short, late movement. Effective against both handedness.

Changeup: Low-90s with depth and fade. Has shown strong effectiveness at times, especially vs. lefties.

Sinker (occasional): Low-usage pitch in some breakdowns.

 

 

Jaxon Wiggins – Chicago Cubs – AAA

                2026:  A+   3-ST, 0-0, 2.45, 0.95, 7.1-IP, 2-BB, 7-K

                        AAA:  4-ST, 0-0, 9.00, 2.00, 13-IP, 13-BB, 17-K

Fastball (4-seam): Primary pitch. Sits 96-98 mph (touches 99-101 mph). Excellent induced vertical break (IVB) and carry; described as having "life," "ride," and prototypical movement. Often graded 65-70. High whiff potential up in the zone.

Slider (or hard slider/cutter variant): Key secondary pitch. Upper 80s (87-93 mph). Originally a deeper sweeper; Cubs adjusted to a spiked grip for harder "bullet" movement and better control/strike-throwing. Plus potential (55-60 grade), high whiff rate.

Changeup: Developing third pitch with fade/tumble. Upper 80s (around 89 mph). Solid feel, especially against lefties; helps his starter profile.

Curveball: Less frequently used "downer" or 12-6 offering. Upper 70s to low 80s. Flashes depth but lags behind the others.

 

 

Braylon Doughty – Cleveland Guardians – AA

              2026:  A+   14-ST, 3-3, 3.02, 1.17, 59.2-IP, 11-BB, 74-K

                         AA:   4-ST, 1-1, 5.00, 1.50, 18-IP, 5-BB, 22-K

Four-Seam Fastball (92-95 mph, up to 97-98): Primary pitch with good spin (~2400-2500+ RPM) and riding life. It has improved shape and velo as he's added strength. He commands it well up in the zone for strikes and swing-miss. He also mixes a two-seam/sinker (especially vs. RHH) for ground balls and weak contact on the inner/outer thirds.

Curveball (82-85 mph): One of the best in the minors—plus to double-plus. High spin (often 3000+ RPM), with depth + horizontal sweep (over a foot of movement). It tunnels well with the fastball, generates whiffs/chases, and can be used for strikes or putaways to either handedness (e.g., backdoor to LHH).

Slider (87-90 mph): Another high-spin (3000+ RPM potential) plus breaker. More of a power/bullet slider with depth and glove-side action. He has worked on separating it from his curve and cutter for better whiff rates (recently ~35%+ in stretches). Primarily used vs. RHH.

Cutter (88-92 mph): Flatter with vertical action; used more vs. LHH. Helps him work inside and create separation from the slider. (Some reports note he has de-emphasized or adjusted certain fastball variants like the cutter over time.)

Changeup (84-87 mph): Firm but promising fourth pitch with fade and good arm-side replication of the fastball. Used mostly vs. LHH; it can generate high whiff rates when located well but needs consistency (occasionally hangs or gets buried).

 

 

Nolan Perry – Toronto Blue Jays - AA

                2026:  A:   5-G, 4-ST, 1.71, 0.67, 21-IP, 6-BB, 32-K

                          A+   7-ST, 3-3, 3.23, 1.24, 30.2-IP, 11-BB, 46-K

                         AA:   2-ST, 0-0, 0.00, 1.15, 4.1-IP, 2-BB, 7-K

Four-Seam Fastball (primary pitch, ~40% usage): Sits 93-95 mph, touches 96+ mph. Features high spin (high-2500s RPM), strong induced vertical break (around 18+ inches), arm-side run, and a favorable vertical approach angle. It generates elite whiff rates for a fastball (up to 40% in samples) and plays well up in the zone.

Slider (secondary, ~25-30% usage): 82-87 mph (often 84-87). Tight, gyro/ short breaker with good horizontal movement. Primary pitch for missing bats against righties; high whiff rates (often 50%+).

Curveball: 78-81 mph (or 75-80 earlier). Big 1-7/12-6 shape with two-plane break and steep drop. Effective against lefties; high whiff rates when thrown for strikes or as a chase pitch, though it can be harder to land for strikes.

Splitter (or Changeup/Splitter hybrid): Mid-80s (84-86+ mph). Developed/improved post-injury as a better weapon vs. lefties than prior changeup. Good vertical drop/separation; still inconsistent but shows promise as an off-speed option.

Other (occasional): Sinker (similar velo/shape to four-seamer in some readings) and rare cutter or changeup elements. He has shown a deep, 5-6 pitch mix in some outings.
