Brandon Sproat, a promising Mets pitcher, faced significant struggles after his promotion to Triple-A Syracuse, where he recorded a 7.53 ERA and allowed seven homers. Reflecting on these challenges, Sproat acknowledged departing from his aggressive pitching style and emphasized the need for a better mindset. Despite these setbacks, he remains a high-ranking prospect, celebrated for his remarkable strikeout abilities, evidenced by an impressive season overall. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that this adversity ultimately served to humble Sproat, enhancing his readiness for future challenges in the game.
It's not surprising for me that I struggled a little bit at Triple-A. I kind of got away from who I am up there and that is attacking and not worrying about results.
He will be among the most scrutinized prospects in camp after receiving recognition last season as the organization's pitcher of the year.
