dealt with pitch-tipping issues<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cThere is a lot of talent this year in free agency, and it\u2019s exciting in itself to be in this position,\u201d Helsley told The Athletic. \u201cYou work for seven years to get to this point and have a chance to experience it, so I\u2019m very thankful and grateful for that. Hopefully, teams see there was an issue but my stuff is still there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clubs don\u2019t seem to be worried about the rough stretch that Helsley had with the Mets and have pointed to the right-hander\u2019s metrics as a sign that he still can be effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two-time All-Star led MLB with 49 saves in 2024 with the Cardinals, and he recorded 21 saves in 26 chances this past season before getting traded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

His move to the Mets led to the \u201chardest thing I\u2019ve gone through as a pitcher in the big leagues,\u201d as Helsley struggled to get clean innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was eventually discovered that Helsley was tipping his pitches through his hand position when he was coming set.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Helsley remains confident that he can be a strong reliever in the majors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople might not believe me, but I really enjoyed my time in New York,\u201d he said. \u201cI still believe I can be who I want to be, and I\u2019ve shown who I am as a pitcher. And I think there\u2019s room for improvement, ways to get better and get even more out of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Helsley is drawing significant interest despite a horrid two months with the Mets.\u00a0 Helsley, 31, has seen…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,48937,161518,1830,16048,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-309284","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-mlb-free-agency","12":"tag-mlb-hot-stove","13":"tag-new-york-mets","14":"tag-ryan-helsley","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
