Nolan McLean is set to make his major league debut with the New York Mets. The 24-year-old right-hander has shown impressive performance in the minor leagues, achieving an 8-5 record with a 2.45 ERA and 127 strikeouts over 113 innings. He features a diverse five-pitch arsenal, and his maturity on the mound has impressed both manager Carlos Mendoza and fellow pitchers. McLean replaces Frankie Montas in the rotation and aims to provide stability as the Mets look to improve their overall pitching performance.
"We feel good with him going out there and giving us a chance to win baseball games at the big league level," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. "Credit to him that he put himself in this position."
"I was there in Jacksonville (for) his first start at Triple-A and his demeanor and his presence out there - really looked like he knew kind of what he wanted to do... that says a lot about somebody," said swingman Paul Blackburn.
