Brandon Sproat Getting a Look as Reliever
Brandon Sproat is getting a look at reliever and is expected to come out of the bullpen on Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse. The reason behind the shift is to give the 24-year-old some experience coming on in relief in the event that is what the Mets determine they need from him as they make a push for the playoffs. The Mets' fifth-ranked prospect owns a 4.24 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 24 starts at Triple-A this season, but has pitched better since late June, recording a 2.05 ERA, a 0.85 WHIP, and a 21.3 percent K-BB% over his last nine starts. The righty allowed one run or less in six of those nine starts. While it is exciting for youngsters to get their shot in the majors, if Sproat's opportunity this season comes as a middle reliever, it would certainly dampen his fantasy value in 2025 redraft leagues, although his future as a starter for dynasty leagues remains bright.
