On Sunday afternoon, Jose Butto took the mound and faced two challenging tasks: taking the mound on the day that the Mets retired Dwight Gooden’s No. 16, and facing a hot Kansas City Royals team. The 26-year-old right-hander rose to the occasion and then some – tossing 6.0 shutout innings while striking out a career-high nine batters and giving up just two hits and one walk.
Through two starts in 2024, Butto has allowed just one run across 12.0 innings and has given up just five hits, four walks and struck out 15. While it is only a small sample of two starts in 2024, Butto has been markedly better than in his cups of coffee in the majors over the past two seasons
