Mets’ Hidden Gem Stratton Dominates | New York Mets News

Garrett Stratton, a 23-year-old pitcher drafted way down at 613th overall, is quietly dominating the minors this season — and Mets fans are taking notice. After barely getting drafted due to rough college stats, he transformed his game with a new “death ball” pitch, developed with help from a coach. Now pitching in Double-A, he’s posting a jaw-dropping 1.78 ERA, 32 strikeouts, and just one walk (on purpose) in 25 innings, while batters are hitting just .165 against him. Already showing veteran-like poise, he’s being called a “human analytics computer” and could be climbing prospect rankings fast — possibly even starting 2027 in Triple-A. With the Mets’ bullpen in flux, Stratton might be primed for a major league call-up and even a high-leverage role like closer if needed. Keep an eye on this sleeper star.
