Roster Moves - Mets re-sign RHP Connor Grey - assign to Syracuse

 

The New York Mets have re-signed minor league free agent Connor Grey and have assigned him to Syracuse.

Born 5/6/1994 in Upstate Frewsburg, NY, Connor led all Syracuse Mets last year with 104.1 innings pitched, 24 starts.  He was 5-6 with a 6.35 ERA.  He was promoted to the Mets on August 22nd last year but did not see action and was returned to Syracuse in September after  clearing waivers.

Connor Grey told Spectrum Local News.com: "Once I get going, I'll be better on the back half of the game, rather than early on, when you're trying to get your feet set," he says. "I like starting better than relieving, and I think that's one of the biggest things. Your mentality of 'I need to go 5-6 innings to give my team a chance to win."

Case in point, in 2021 I saw him pitch @ Hudson Valley against the Yankees affiliate.  He had a rocky first inning allowing 4 runs, 2 earned, in the first (thought ump was squeezing him) but settled down after that.

He hit 94 with his fastball and showed good movement with his curve and off speed pitches.

His next game, he took a no hitter to the ninth going 8.1 innings, 1 run, 9 Ks, 2 walks.

The re-signing gives Syracuse a stable arm in the rotation for the 2023 season.
