David Peterson made a notable return during his first Grapefruit League appearance against the Marlins, throwing three scoreless innings with five strikeouts. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised his overall performance, especially highlighting improvements with his slider, a pitch that posed challenges last season. Peterson's ability to execute strikes and create swings-and-misses demonstrates his readiness for the season ahead. His success could signify a higher level of performance, essential for the Mets this year, as he aims to build upon last year's foundation.
"Really good. Three innings, all of his pitches were really, really good, especially the slider... he got some swings and misses. Fastball was really good for the first time out."
"I felt like I was able to execute some good sliders, fastball felt good coming out... I was able to see some good stuff out of everything."
