McLean’s Rough Patch and the Path Forward

Nolan McLean’s hot start is cooling off as the Mets’ young pitcher struggles through two shaky outings, pushing his ERA to 4.40. Manager Carlos Mendoza and McLean himself blame mechanical issues with his secondary pitches and overworking himself earlier in the week. McLean admits it’s “bad pitching,” hitting batters and falling behind hitters even with two strikes. Despite the rough patch, the Mets believe in his grit and resilience, with Mendoza calling him a competitor who won’t quit. McLean is focused on rebounding before his next start against the Marlins.
