Nolan McLean Feeling Better, to Throw 50-55 Pitches in Sim Game
New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean (illness) is no longer dealing with vertigo-like symptoms and will throw roughly 50 to 55 pitches or four innings in a simulated game in camp on Wednesday, according to Laura Albanese of Newsday. As long as the vertigo-like symptoms don't return for McLean, he should be cleared to pitch for Team USA against Italy in the World Baseball Classic on March 10. In his Grapefruit League debut last week against the Houston Astros, the young right-hander looked great, striking out six over four scoreless innings. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Oklahoma State looked great in his MLB debut last year, too, going 5-1 with a 2.06 ERA (2.97 FIP), 1.04 WHIP, and 57:16 K:BB in 48 innings over his eight starts. There's a lot to like about the former two-way player as he heads into his first full MLB season locked into New York's starting rotation. Treat him as a high-end No. 3 starter/low-end No. 2 starting pitcher in fantasy drafts.
