Kevin Herget aims to secure bullpen spot with Mets, out of options

Kevin Herget, acquired by the Mets three times in 18 months, is fighting for a permanent bullpen spot as he is out of options. In 2025, he posted a 3.00 ERA over 12 MLB innings (6 appearances, 6 K, 3 BB) and a 2.81 ERA in 32 Triple-A innings (35 K, 8 BB). The right-hander relies on a 92.1 mph fastball, cutter, and changeup to limit hard contact.
