The first splash in what the Mets hope will be the organization’s next wave of starting pitching could be approaching shore.
Mike Vasil’s recent starts for Triple-A Syracuse have been difficult for organizational officials to overlook, bringing a level of optimism that the right-hander, if he doesn’t receive a cameo with the Mets this season, will have an opportunity to contribute next year and perhaps compete for a job in spring training.
Over his last three starts, the 23-year-old Vasil has pitched to a 1.83 ERA with 11 hits allowed and 15 strikeouts and six walks over 19 ²/₃ innings for Syracuse.Over his last five starts he’s pitched to a 3.33 ERA with 20 hits allowed in 27 innings with 26 strikeouts and 12 walks. “It’s kind of what we have heard all year — tremendous worker and competitor and really gets after guys and knows what he has to do,” Mets pitching coach Jeremy Hefner said before his team faced the Braves on Monday. “I think he just went through a little bit of an adjustment period going from Double-A to Triple-A, like most guys do. He’s trending in the right direction.”Ranked as the Mets’ top pitching prospect by MLB.
In a rematch in his next start, Vasil allowed three earned runs over 5 ²/₃ innings, but he followed that with another superb performance: On Sunday he allowed one earned run on six hits over six innings in a win over Columbus.How Kevin Parada is making his case to be a part of the Mets’ plans when they already have their catcher of the future
“Very similar to how he went into the year, when he’s going good he just really understands how good his stuff is,” Mets director of player development Kevin Howard said. “He’s aggressive in the zone and that is what has been going on. He’s trusted all of his pitches and he just lets it go in the zone early.
