Tylor Megill, the Mets right-hander, demonstrated strong form in his first Spring Training outing, mirroring his top pitch speed from last season at 98.2 mph. Over 2 ²/₃ innings, he allowed one run on two hits and one walk, striking out two. Despite a curveball mishap, he expressed confidence in his mechanics and overall performance. With injuries affecting team dynamics, Megill appears poised to secure a rotation spot, as competition heats up among several pitchers jockeying for position ahead of the season opener.
"Feel good. Don't feel like I'm trying [for velocity] too much," Megill said after the 6-1 loss to the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. "Mechanics feel well. Body feels well. Ball's coming out well. So overall, feel good."
"Stuff was good, watching him at 98 [mph] today," manager Carlos Mendoza said. "I thought he used all of his pitches well. I thought he was good."
