David Peterson has experienced a transformative spring training, establishing himself as a key member of the Mets rotation. After a tough previous year marred by hip discomfort and a 5.03 ERA, Peterson underwent successful labrum surgery. With improved physical condition, he showcased his potential in his breakout season with a 10-3 record and a 2.90 ERA. Focusing on consistency and preparing for the season without pain, Peterson looks forward to building on last year's success as he approaches his first Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.
"There's definitely a little bit of a different feel, obviously, just with where I'm at. The goal is to do what I need to do in spring to get ready to be at my best to start the season."
"Having the hip surgery and getting that fixed was huge. Being able to feel good and not pitch with any pain... allowed my mechanics and my motion to be a lot more consistent and repeatable."
