"There was an understandable undertone of desperation coming from Dom Hamel as he stood inside the Mets clubhouse for the first time ever."
"Hamel, a 26-year-old right-hander, had just been called up to the big leagues after five years and over 100 appearances in the minors."
"I'm just trying not to leave them a choice, he said. I don't want to go back. I'm up here, I'm thinking I'm up here for a reason."
"You're used to throwing a lot of innings in a year, and it could make you fresh. So I was all eyes and ears."
Dom Hamel, a 26-year-old right-hander, recently made his major league debut with the Mets after five years in the minors. He will serve as a multi-inning reliever and is committed to doing whatever it takes to stay in the big leagues. Initially a promising starter with a top-10 ranking in the organization, he faced struggles at Triple-A that led to his conversion to a bullpen role. Hamel acknowledges the competitive nature of the league but feels optimistic about his chances moving forward.
