"Herget returns to the organization after electing minor league free agency at the start of the offseason. The New Jersey native was on and off the roster a few times throughout the season. Herget pitched in six games as a Met and made one appearance for the Braves. He tossed 12 innings of five-run ball (four earned) with six strikeouts and three walks. The 34-year-old righty has worked 55 2/3 frames of 4.20 ERA ball over parts of four seasons."
"A former 39th-round draftee, Herget has spent eight seasons in Triple-A. He turned in a 3.09 earned run average across 46 2/3 innings there between the New York and Atlanta affiliates in 2025. He struck out an above-average 26.1% of opponents with a sub-6% walk rate. He's a sensible depth pickup who can compete for a long relief role in camp."
Kevin Herget signed a minor league contract with the Mets and will attend camp as a non-roster invitee. He returned after electing minor league free agency. The 34-year-old right-hander appeared in six games for New York and one for Atlanta, throwing 12 innings and allowing five runs (four earned) with six strikeouts and three walks. He has 55 2/3 innings of 4.20 ERA in MLB. A former 39th-round pick, he has eight Triple-A seasons and posted a 3.09 ERA in 46 2/3 Triple-A innings in 2025, striking out 26.1% with a sub-6% walk rate. He projects as depth who can compete for a long-relief role. He has exhausted minor-league options, so any call-up would require a major-league roster spot or designation for assignment.
