Max Kranick has begun the season impressively, excelling in his role as a multi-inning reliever for the New York Mets. In his recent outing against the Miami Marlins, he threw three perfect innings with just 22 pitches and previously escaped a jam against the Houston Astros. His successful transition from starter to reliever follows an outstanding spring training, where he had a 1.48 ERA and 15 strikeouts. Kranick’s performance has made him a valuable asset for the Mets' bullpen, which has been strong this season.
Max Kranick has aced each of his first two tests out of the Mets bullpen this season, holding the Marlins down across three perfect innings.
For him to come in like that and basically save the bullpen and kept the game [close] and gave us a chance, that was pretty impressive.
I definitely had some jitters all series long, Kranick said in Houston. My heart was racing.
Mendoza is hailing Kranick as a potential really good weapon to utilize out of a bullpen that has been lights-out to start the season.
