Freddy Peralta Begins Mets Acclimation, Throws Bullpen to Catcher Alvarez

Freddy Peralta, acquired by the New York Mets on January 21, threw his first bullpen session to primary catcher Francisco Alvarez this spring, marking the start of his acclimation process. The right-hander, who finished fifth in 2025 NL Cy Young voting with a 2.70 ERA in 33 starts for the Brewers, is impressed by the Mets' data-driven approach. Peralta is focusing on his new team and not participating in the World Baseball Classic.
