You know what you would want if you were the Mets and watched Nolan McLean’s MLB debut?

McLean showcased an impressive array of talents. He demonstrated his deep repertoire of pitches, especially reminiscent of Charlie Morton, with a remarkable ability to spin the ball at extraordinary speeds to regain control in counts. McLean showed his skill within the strike zone and his knack for enticing batters outside it. The right-hander’s known athleticism was on full display with a standout defensive play that combined quick reflexes with style. Under the scrutiny of 42,978 fans at Citi Field, he appeared composed and unaffected, giving hope that his debut could be more than just a great start for him but a turning point for the Mets, who have been struggling for more than two months, especially with their starting pitchers.
“The situation did not seem too big for him,” Carlos Mendoza praised.
