Mets Recall 20th-Ranked Prospect Jonathan Pintaro
The New York Mets recalled their No. 20 prospect, right-handed pitcher Jonathan Pintaro, from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, according to MLB Pipeline. Pintaro, 28, made two relief appearances for the Mets earlier this year and tossed 3 2/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen with no hits allowed, one walk, and three strikeouts. The former undrafted free agent made his big-league debut in 2025 and allowed two earned runs with two walks and a strikeout in just two-thirds of an inning in one relief appearance. The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder has gone 2-0 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 38:13 K:BB with one save in 31 1/3 relief innings over 19 appearances at Syracuse in 2026. The converted starting pitcher throws a mid-90s fastball from a low three-quarters arm slot, which has allowed lefties to feast off of him. Pintaro has also had trouble throwing strikes consistently, which is something he'll obviously need to change if he wants to stick around in Queens. In a likely multi-inning relief role for New York, Pintaro has very little fantasy appeal.
