Tylor Megill has successfully claimed a position in the New York Mets' starting rotation after demonstrating exceptional performance during spring training. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized Megill's focus on throwing strikes and attacking hitters, which significantly contributed to his selection. In addition to Megill, Griffin Canning has also been included in the rotation, with both pitchers set to debut in upcoming games against Houston. The decision was influenced by injuries to other pitchers, indicating the team’s adaptability in response to personnel challenges this season.
"Megill earned it. He came into camp on a mission and he went out there and earned it. His stuff is elite. He earned it."
"Canning, who arrived on a one-year contract worth $4.25 million, was projected from the start of camp to begin the season in the rotation."
"It wasn't an easy [decision] because of how well they are all throwing the baseball," Mendoza said before the Mets beat the Marlins 10-2.
"Megill, who could have returned to Triple-A Syracuse - he is the only pitcher among the three competing for a spot who has a minor league option."
