Justin Hagenman Battles for Bullpen Role in Mets Spring Training

After splitting time between Triple-A Syracuse and the Mets in 2025, Justin Hagenman is competing for a middle-relief role this spring. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 4.56 ERA over 23.2 major league innings last season. While he possesses strikeout-heavy stuff, he faces a crowded bullpen competition. Hagenman has minor league options remaining, which may influence his path to the Opening Day roster, but he remains a depth candidate for the Mets' pitching staff.
