Hamel's homecoming: From Mets to Yankees, a new chapter

Dom Hamel is experiencing a homecoming of sorts as he prepares to pitch against his former team, the Syracuse Mets, in New York. Hamel, a right-hander for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, previously spent two seasons in Syracuse after being drafted by the Mets in 2021. He reached Triple-A in 2024, enduring a challenging stint with a 6.79 ERA.

Last season saw Hamel transition between starting and relieving roles. His time with Syracuse included notable performances against the RailRiders. Following his major league debut with the Mets on September 17th, he was designated for assignment and subsequently claimed by the Orioles and Rangers, only to be DFA'd again by both.
