The Mets have heard nothing but good things about Brooks Raley as he continues working his way back from Tommy John surgery.
That certainly doesn’t come as a surprise — as the lefty put together another strong outing Saturday night in Double-A.
Raley stretched out to a second up for the first time since returning — and he allowed just one baserunner while punching out a pair across 1.2 innings of work.
He needed just 17 pitches to get through the outing, 12 of which were strikes.
“Everything is good,” Carlos Mendoza said. “He went two ups, obviously he continues to feel well and that’s important for him to just get that out of the way when he has to go two ups and throw strikes. The ball is coming out fine right now, so far we’ve gotten good reports.”
Raley has now allowed just four hits while striking out eight batters over his first four outings.
The veteran southpaw still has a ways to go as he continues building his workload up in the minors, but eventually getting him back in the mix will provide a huge boost to the Mets’ struggling pitching staff.
Raley was a key contributor when he was last healthy, posting a 2.80 ERA over 66 appearances.
