However, Stanek will provide New York with a battle-tested veteran presence in high-leverage situations.<\/p>\n<h2>Ryne Stanek Returns To The Mets<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, Stanek <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/03\/08\/ryne-stanek-seattle-mariners\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">signed after the start of Spring Training<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/07\/26\/ryne-stanek-trade-mets-mariners\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">split the season<\/a> between the Seattle Mariners and the Mets. In 63 combined games, the veteran posted a 4.88 ERA (78 ERA+) in 55 1\/3 innings while posting strikeout and walk rates roughly in line with his career norms.<\/p>\n<p>Stanek&#8217;s issues mainly stemmed from allowing hard contact, too many walks, and failing to generate ground balls. Hitters elevated the ball with solid contact, often resulting in extra-base hits. A high walk rate worsens this problem by increasing the chances of extra-base hits with runners on base.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these struggles, Stanek redeemed himself with a strong finish. In his final 12 appearances, the fiery reliever allowed four runs in 12 1\/3 innings (2.92 ERA) while recording a whopping 18 strikeouts against four walks.<\/p>\n<h3>Yearly October Success<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps most encouraging for Stanek was that he continued this success into the postseason. He quickly earned the trust of manager Carlos Mendoza and represented one of the few reliable arms in a shallow Mets bullpen. Overall, Stanek tossed eight innings in seven games and allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and eight strikeouts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ryne Stanek in the 2024 postseason:<\/p>\n<p>4.1 IP<br \/>1 ER<br \/>3 K<\/p>\n<p>He has been one of the Mets\u2019 best options out of the bullpen. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/G8OFlsctJH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/G8OFlsctJH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; MetsMuse (@MetsMuse) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MetsMuse\/status\/1843809146086535194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This October success was nothing new for Stank. Before 2024, Stanek recorded a 2.70 ERA in 23 career post-season appearances, including a 0.00 ERA during the Houston Astros 2022 World Series run.<\/p>\n<p>During his hot stretch in Queens, Stanek told reporters that the Mets identified an issue with his mechanics. The veteran revealed to the team that he was dealing with some back pain that, unbeknownst to him, impacted his delivery. Stanek experienced improved results after getting treatment and fixing his mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>New York will sign Stanek, 33, and bank on his late-season success to carry over. Despite his flaws, Stanek still ranked as one of the hardest throwers in MLB last season while posting elite Whiff, Chase, and Strikeout rates. Relievers can be fickle, but Stanek has a track record and ability likely worth betting on.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credits: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to MLB&#8217;s Anthony DiComo, right-handed pitcher Ryne Stanek will sign a 1-year contract to return to the New York Mets.
