PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 Tylor Megill looks much thinner than last season but insists he\u2019s lost only a few pounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what everyone is saying, that I look skinnier, but I haven\u2019t lost weight,\u201d Megill said. \u201cMaybe like five pounds. That\u2019s about it. I guess I just leaned out.\u201d<\/p>\n
If there is a ritual of spring in Mets camp, it\u2019s Megill arriving without a guaranteed roster spot, as rotation depth. <\/p>\n
More often than not, an injury to another starting pitcher has allowed Megill to break camp with the team.<\/p>\n
This spring, he sits behind Kodai Senga, Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, Clay Holmes, David Peterson and Griffin Canning in the apparent pecking order of a six-man rotation. <\/p>\n
Megill, who has a minor league option remaining, is taking the approach that even if he isn\u2019t with the team to begin the season, there should be plenty of opportunities for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am used to it, but it\u2019s not something I want to be doing,\u201d Megill said of bouncing between Triple-A Syracuse and the Mets. \u201cI want to be starting every five days or six days in the big leagues, not the minor leagues. Obviously, in ways, it sucks being in Triple-A, but at the same time, you can\u2019t be down about it, can\u2019t pout about it. You still have to go about your business and work, stay positive and help others around you. It\u2019s about you and your career, but at the same time, too, it\u2019s about trying to help others get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megill last season pitched to a 4.04 ERA in 16 appearances (15 of which were starts) for the Mets. <\/p>\n
His best work occurred over his final six starts for the team, after returning from Syracuse in August. <\/p>\n
Over that stretch, he pitched to a 2.32 ERA.<\/p>\n
\u201cI threw a lot of strikes and started going deeper into games, which is good,\u201d Megill said. \u201cIt\u2019s always been my goal to go as deep as possible and try to figure that out at Triple-A. Obviously, it translated when I got back. The pitch count was way lower. Finishing up the fifth and then being able to go into the sixth and finish the sixth inning. That has always been my problem, the fifth and sixth innings. When I came back, the fifth and sixth innings were completely different.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday, he threw two innings of live batting practice and allowed a homer to Brett Baty.<\/p>\n
Manager Carlos Mendoza said he\u2019s already spoken with Megill about the possibility he will begin the season with Syracuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is competing \u2014 that is what we told him,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cMake sure you get ready, and we\u2019ll see what happens. He is going to make a lot of starts for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
