Edwin Díaz, the Mets' reliever, has returned to spring training without limitations, contrasting last year's recovery from injury. After a disappointing 2023 season with a 3.52 ERA and multiple blown saves due to limited performance, Díaz aims to recapture his dominance from 2022, when he recorded a 1.31 ERA. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the need for Díaz to improve his base runner control, noting a significant slowdown in his delivery time. With the absence of restrictions, the team hopes for a positive turnaround as Díaz prepares for the season ahead.
"Last year was a little bit different because I was recovering from an injury. When I got here to spring training, I wasn't doing everything with the team."
"Trying to get it under 1.5 [seconds to the plate]. This is a guy that was almost 2 seconds to the plate last year... it’ll give our catchers a chance to throw out runners."
