Mets’ emerging star Stephen Nogosek has taken no time off to develop what’s up his pitching sleeve while building a tavern with his partner.
PORT ST. LUCIE — In his arsenal and in his life, Stephen Nogosek is busy.
“It’s outside of my control. I gotta focus on getting better each and every day, proving that I belong, and just focus on that,” said Nogosek, who was acquired in the 2017 deadline trade that sent Addison Reed to the Red Sox. “Focus on the day, and everything else hopefully will take care of itself.”Nogosek pitches against the Giants in 2019, when he relied much more heavily on his fastball.Back when Nogosek debuted in 2019, he threw a good fastball , a slider and a changeup .
His fastball is still his best pitch, but he does not need to throw it 66.7 percent of the time, as he did in 2019. Last year — when Nogosek pitched to a 2.45 ERA in 22 major league innings —Nogosek is vying for an Opening Day roster spot after positing a 2.45 ERA in 22 games with the Mets in 2022.“I didn’t have to throw a fastball with a 2-0 count. I didn’t have to try to get back into an even or pitcher’s count with a fastball,” said Nogosek, a California native.
With the Phillies last season, he appeared in just 12 games because of a shoulder strain that hampered him all year. Now?The Mets may miss the dual contributions of reliever and spot starter Trevor Williams, who joined the Nationals rotation for 2023.In keeping with a reliever theme, there is a glaring absence on the 2023 Mets: a capable swingman who can help out of the bullpen and, in a pinch, eat up innings as a starter.
