Mets Rookie Nolan McLean Set for MLB Debut After Surprise Promotion

Nolan McLean, a 24-year-old right-hander, is set to make his MLB debut for the New York Mets on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, a promotion that reportedly caught him by surprise. McLean earned the call-up after a dominant minor league season, posting an 8-5 record with a 2.45 ERA and 127 strikeouts over 113 2/3 innings across Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Syracuse. He brings a five-pitch arsenal, including a mid-to-high 90s fastball, and looks to provide a much-needed boost to the Mets' struggling rotation, replacing Frankie Montas.
