5th major league season

Bats R/Throws R
The Good: He's a usable arm who gets a lot of ground balls (66.2% of batted balls last year). Was a low 3/4 pitcher last year, then came to camp more submarine, but then in his last game he reverted to more of a side-arm motion.
The Bad: Walks way too many people to be given an important role in the bullpen (4.65 walks/9 innings). Allowed nearly half of his 34 inherited runs to score last year. Lefties hit .275 against him for his career, and has allowed a 1.85 WHIP to lefties.
Role: Could be designated for assignment if the Mets do put Mejia in the bullpen. Right now he is a righty specialist that should be used in low-leveraged situations.
