“During the [2023] offseason, I was just thinking, what could I do to be better?,” Severino said. “2018 was the last time I threw more than 100 innings.

I wasn’t focused on striking everybody out.”
Canning is the team’s latest reclamation project where it’s struck gold. The Mets’ right-hander allowed an American-League leading 99 earned runs last year with the Angels before coming to New York. This season, Canning has a career-best 3.23 ERA in 11 starts and has increased his strikeout rate and ground-ball percentage.
