There were times during the first half of the season when Dom Hamel wanted to give up on the sweeper.
It took several more months for Hamel to learn the control, mindset and confidence needed to maximize his added weapon.
There were times during the first half of the season when Hamel wanted to give up on the sweeper, which he saw had excellent horizontal movement but perhaps too much — it was hard to harness and hard to throw for a strike. And with that he took off, ripping off nine starts to finish his regular season in which he allowed 10 total runs for a 1.88 ERA.
The Mets have struggled to develop starting pitchers since their rotation was filled with Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler and Steven Matz. The Mets drafted Hamel in the third round in 2021, and he impressed with a 3.25 ERA in 119 innings split between Low-A St. Lucie and High-A Brooklyn last season.
