Ex-Yankees Pitchers Shine for Mets
6 Apr
Summary
- Two former Yankees pitchers have excelled for the Mets this season.
- Both pitchers currently boast a 0.00 ERA in 4.0 innings pitched.
- Their success comes after a year of less than optimal performance with the Yankees.
A year after a notable player switched from Yankee Stadium to Citi Field, two more pitchers have made the move from the Yankees to the Mets this offseason. Devin Williams and Luke Weaver have significantly outperformed their previous production in pinstripes.
So far this season, Williams has appeared in four games, maintaining a 0.00 ERA over 4.0 innings with two saves. Weaver has matched this performance with a 0.00 ERA in 4.0 innings across four games.
These pitchers struggled at times last season with the Yankees, a common occurrence for relief pitchers. The Mets sought them out to compensate for the free agency loss of long-time closer Edwin Diaz.
Their current success is a notable point for the Yankees, especially after a recent bullpen collapse. While maintaining a 0.00 ERA all season is unlikely, both arms demonstrate talent capable of finishing games effectively for the Mets, much to the chagrin of their former team.
