Tylor Megill Looking Solid This Spring
6 months agoNew York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill has looked good so far in spring training, giving up only one run while striking out seven and walking none in five innings so far. Last spring, he walked 13 hitters in 17 innings. "I couldn't be prouder of Tylor and his offseason and how he took ownership of it," pitching coach Jeremy Hefner said. "It goes back to his mentality toward the end of the season going into the offseason — a real clear view of who he is, what he's trying to do, what his pitches do, how to use his pitches. For me, that's empowering." Megill is also operating with a new splitter this year as he looks to solidify his spot at the back end of New York's starting rotation to start the new season. The 28-year-old was very mediocre in 25 starts for the Mets last year with only an 18.5% strikeout rate.
