Thornton Shines in Mets Debut | New York Mets News

Zach Thornton, the Mets’ rookie pitcher, dazzled in his latest start, tossing seven shutout innings against Boston’s potent lineup—no runs, just two hits, and elite control. With a fastball that barely cracks 90, Thornton outsmarted hitters by mastering all five of his pitches, a lesson learned from watching Jacob deGrom. He retired 13 of 14 batters, threw just 82 pitches, and earned another major league start—exactly what a struggling Mets rotation needs. Confident and fearless, Thornton proves he belongs at the highest level, offering hope and a bright spot in a season full of disappointments.
