Justin Hagenman Fantasy Stats

New York Mets pitching prospect Justin Hagenman was recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday. The right-hander made his major league debut earlier this year and has made four appearances for New York (one start), recording a 5.11 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 12 1/3 innings pitched. On the bright side, he walked just one batter in those appearances while striking out 13. Despite an inflated ERA at Triple-A as well, the 28-year-old displayed excellent control, walking just 4.2 percent of batters while striking out 26.4 percent in 52 1/3 innings, so he's still got the potential to be an effective arm out of the bullpen for the Mets. Even so, as an unproven middle relief option, the 6-foot-3 hurler does not have fantasy relevance. Dom Hamel, who was called up for the first time on Monday, did not make an appearance during his time with the Mets and was sent back down before making his MLB debut.

SNY's Anthony DiComo reports that New York Mets pitcher Justin Hagenman will receive the first start of his career in the first game of their series with the cross-town rival New York Yankees on Friday. The Penn State product has tossed six innings from the Amazin's bullpen this season, but has primarily operated out of the rotation during his time with Triple-A Syracuse. He's 0-2 there through 12 appearances (eight starts) with a 6.21 ERA and .271 average against. Even if Hagenman performs well the next few times he toes the rubber, his time in the rotation won't be for long with the return of teammates Sean Manaea (oblique, elbow) and Kodai Senga (hamstring) looming.
