Part 3/5:
The Mets' front office is banking on Mentor’s past performances and his winning culture cultivated during his eight years with the Braves. This experience is vital as the Mets prepare to compete in a division that is known for its tough matchups. His ability to strike out batters and command his four-seamer—one of the best in baseball in 2022—coupled with his effective cutter and change-up, adds depth to the Mets' bullpen. Mentor's transition to the Mets as a setup man is expected to bolster the team's pitching strategy.
