MLB: Who will be the fifth New York Mets starting pitcher in 2022?

Currently, the New York Mets’ rotation is expected to be made up of veteran right-handers Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, Carlos Carrasco, and Taijuan Walkerwith options such as young Trevor Williams, David Peterson and Tylor Megill competing for fifth place.

It’s possible that one or more of those current fifth-starter candidates could land in a deep relief group that will be headed by Puerto Rican Edwin Díaz, Trevor May, Seth Lugo and the lanky Dominican Miguel Castro:

The Mets are widely expected to add another established arm to the rotation each time the lockout ends, and there’s probably room for a lefty in the bullpen as well (particularly after Aaron Loup’s departure). From the outset today they signed Félix Peña.

So with these arms, the Mets hope to return to the World Series, something they haven’t done since 2015 when they lost to the Kansas City Royals. However, first they will have to compete in the National League East Division with the champion Braves, Phillies and Nationals.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and all Mexican baseball in general. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterruptedly since 2009), signatures of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, although as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I have baseball in my veins. Degree in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and a reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. This is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
