Joel Diaz Continues Strong Start To High-A Season
11 seconds agoNew York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Joel Diaz continued his impressive start to the High-A campaign. On Wednesday, Diaz tossed four shutout innings against Jersey Shore. In this start, Diaz allowed just two hits and no walks. He struck out five. Over his first 15 2/3 innings of the campaign, the 21-year-old has not allowed a run and held a strong 0.70 WHIP. During this stretch, he has held a near-perfect 18:2 K:BB. Last summer, Diaz made his return to the mound after missing all of the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery. In 2024, Diaz spent most of his time with Low-A St. Lucie and logged 67 2/3 innings to the tune of a 4.92 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. Given his impressive start at High-A, Diaz could push for an earlier than expected Double-A debut.
