The Mets gave Luis Severino a 'show-me' one-year, $13 million deal over the winter and he is certainly keeping up his end of the bargain.
The Mets gave Luis Severino a “show-me” one-year, $13 million deal over the winter and he is certainly keeping up his end of the bargain.
It reached its crescendo on Saturday evening at Citi Field against the Miami Marlins as the 30-year-old right-hander pitched his first shutout since 2018, going nine scoreless innings while allowing just four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk on 113 pitches — the most in a single start since he threw 115 against the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 3, 2018.If Saturday’s start did not provide enough encouragement, even more could be found in that he spun this sort of gem at this point in the season.
“He has given me a lot of confidence. Confidence in myself,” Severino said of Mendoza. “When he goes out there, the pep talks that he gives me, it’s different than everybody else. He knows me. He knows how I compete… 100% he helped me. He helped me grow up as a pitcher, as a human being. I’m happy he’s here.”
