Their emergence represents the future of the Mets’ relief corps and could shape the team’s fortunes in the seasons to come.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Pintaro, a 28-year-old reliever, made his MLB debut in 2025 and has showcased his versatility, striking out 103 batters in 82 innings while not allowing a single home run to left-handed hitters. Ross, a 25-year-old with a triple-digit fastball and a devastating splitter, dominated the minors in 2024 but will need to improve his control.
