The Mets will select right-hander onto the MLB roster, Will Sammon of The Athletic. Theyll need to make corresponding active and 40-man roster moves. Pintaro, 27, has been pitching at Double-A Binghamton this season. He has started all 11 appearances but hasnt worked a traditional rotation workload, usually going around four innings. He has posted good rate stats, striking out a third of opponents against an 8.8% walk percentage. The Mets Jimmy Yacabonis Jersey had just promoted him to Triple-A on Tuesday but evidently decided they needed him on the big league staff instead. Sammon notes that hes expected to pitch out of the bullpen, presumably as a low-leverage long reliever. A product of Division II Shorter University in Georgia, Pintaro went undrafted in 2022. Once he gets into a game, hell become the second player in school history (after 1980s reliever ) to appear in the big leagues. Pintarobegan his profe sional career in the Pioneer League before catching on with the Mets via minor league contract last June. He combined for a 2.68 ERA with more than a strikeout per inning acro s 74 frames between three levels to begin his affiliated ball career. ranked Pintaro as the #25 prospect in the New York system over the offseason. BA called him a potential depth starter and/or swingman who succeeds by varying hitters timing with a five-pitch mix. Sid Fernandez Jersey
