Brandon Sproat Stumbles In Season Debut
1 day agoNew York Mets starting pitching prospect Brandon Sproat allowed three hits and four earned runs across two innings of work in his season opener with Triple-A Syracuse. He allowed three free passes and struck out three batters. He ran into most of his trouble in the third innings when he served up two consecutive walks and then allowed a two-run single to Marcelo Mayer, which broke the game open. Sproat was in contention to make the Opening Day roster but was eventually sent to Triple-A Syracuse to continue his development. Last season, the Florida product progressed through the minor leagues fairly quickly, boasting a 2.05 ERA with a 0.94 WHIP across 87 2/3 innings split between High-A and Double-A. He ran into trouble during his first taste of Triple-A last summer, and these struggles appear to still remain. Fantasy managers should monitor his status, but he will need to progress much further at Triple-A before reaching Queens.
