Dom Hamel Fantasy Stats

New York Mets pitching prospect Dom Hamel will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse for what will be his major league debut whenever he enters a game. The Mets' 27th-ranked prospect has an underwhelming 4.73 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 22 appearances (eight starts) at Syracuse this year, however, the righty does own a solid 25.8 percent strikeout rate with a below-average 6.6 percent walk rate. Even so, he'll likely slot in as a middle reliever, and without save chances in his future, the 6-foot-2 hurler can be left to fantasy waiver wires for now. RHP Austin Warren was optioned to Syracuse in a corresponding move.

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Dom Hamel tossed five shutout innings in his Triple-A season debut on Wednesday evening. Hamel allowed just two hits and struck out three batters. This was a strong season debut for Hamel, who was in the mix to make the Opening Day roster. Even though Hamel fell short in the competition, the Mets could call his name later this summer. He was drafted in the third round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Dallas Baptist. Last summer, he spent the entire campaign with Triple-A Syracuse and held a high 6.79 ERA with a 1.75 WHIP across 124 2/3 innings (27 starts). However, the right-hander was able to enjoy a strong season debut with Syracuse, which is a promising sign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Hamel's progression at Triple-A as he could be in the mix for his MLB debut later in the summer.

New York Mets pitching prospect Dominic Hamel struggled in his second Grapefruit League appearance versus the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. The club's No. 14 ranked prospect, as per MLB Pipeline, yielded four earned runs on the back of four solo home runs as part of his six hits allowed in just three innings of work. He walked one and struck out two. The 25-year-old spent his 2023 season in Double-A where he posted a 3.85 ERA alongside a big-time 30.4% K% across 26 outings (25 starts) a season ago. He has pumped out a ton of strikeouts in his three-year professional career to this point and will likely begin his 2024 campaign with Triple-A Syracuse.
