Mets' Ryan Helsley Addresses Pitch Tipping Struggles, Works on Correction

AutoDraft Pro AI

Mets reliever Ryan Helsley has acknowledged he is tipping his pitches, leading to significant struggles since his arrival in Queens where he holds a 10.38 ERA across 11 appearances. Helsley, whose manager Carlos Mendoza also noted comfortable at-bats against him, believes his stuff is too good for his current performance and that pitch-tipping is the underlying cause. He is actively working to correct this subconscious habit, which he has faced previously, aiming to translate his bullpen adjustments to game situations despite the challenges of the pitch clock.
