Nolan McLean Set Up For Breakout Sophmore Season?
New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Nolan McLean enjoyed a strong showing in his first taste of MLB action last summer and is well-positioned to take the next step in his first full season. McLean opened the 2025 campaign with Double-A, but needed only 26 1/3 innings before earning the call to Triple-A Syracuse. With Double-A, McLean struck out 30 hitters while holding a 1.37 ERA. At Triple-A, McLean continued to find success, striking out 97 hitters over 87 1/3 innings while posting a 2.78 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP. This dominant play earned him a late-season ticket to Queens, where he carried this momentum, logging 48 innings to the tune of a 2.067 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. He struck out 57 hitters and allowed walks at an 8.5% rate. McLean is slated to remain in the starting rotation in 2026 and is set up well to emerge as one of the game's top emerging starting pitchers, given the consistent success across all levels he enjoyed in 2025.
