Freddy Peralta recently rattled off his impressions of a few of the Mets\u2019 starting pitchers before the topic turned to his own season.<\/p>\n

What does Freddy Peralta think of Freddy Peralta?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think good,\u201d the right-hander said. \u201cI know that I have more to give and it\u2019s a long season. We have had a long road so far, but we have to keep going and I see that I have a lot of positive things coming for me and for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

A good place to start would be with a top performance Sunday in his Subway Series debut after the Mets\u2019 6-3 win Saturday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of emotions, probably a little more or a lot more than how we have felt in the past when we were with Milwaukee, facing the Cubs,\u201d Peralta said, referring to the fierce Midwest rivalry. \u201cI know New York is different. I am excited for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peralta has pitched to a 3.10 ERA in nine starts for the Mets. <\/p>\n

Over his last four starts he owns a 1.99 ERA, but an offensively challenged team won only two of those games.<\/p>\n

Peralta was asked for his assessment of rookie Nolan McLean, who along with Peralta and Clay Holmes (now on the IL with a fractured right fibula), has led the rotation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is impressive about [McLean],\u201d Peralta said. \u201cHis presence on the mound, all his emotions, the pitching stuff is unbelievable, all the metrics on his pitches, I think that he has a great future. He\u2019s going to be one of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another young pitcher with a high upside, Christian Scott, is the Mets\u2019 scheduled starter Monday in Washington.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has showed us already how impressive his stuff is, especially his fastball and sweeper,\u201d Peralta said. \u201cHe is somebody I was speaking with about with the boys when we were in Colorado, how terrific his fastball is. You can tell the hitters never feel comfortable with his fastball and he has a lot to show. He\u2019s going to be able to shine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juan Soto is dealing with wrist discomfort from a swing and a sore foot (the result of a foul ball), but manager Carlos Mendoza isn\u2019t in any hurry to give his best hitter a rest.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as he\u2019s not putting anything at risk, he will continue to play,\u201d Mendoza said.<\/p>\n

Soto went 2-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Carson Benge recorded his second three-hit game this season. <\/p>\n

The rookie owns a .983 OPS over his last 12 games.<\/p>\n

The Mets are 9-5 in May. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Freddy Peralta recently rattled off his impressions of a few of the Mets\u2019 starting pitchers before the topic…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":802411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,20395,1266,405,403,1305,2228,5226,5225,5228,5227,62,30700,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-802410","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-freddy-peralta","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-new-york-mets","14":"tag-new-york-yankees","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkcity","17":"tag-ny","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-subway-series","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116588836496845135","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
