“Unleashing Potential: Can a Revitalized David Peterson Secure His Spot in the Mets’ Rotation?”
It also provides another opportunity for growth as the season goes on. Peterson’s new approach with his slider is working just as planned, and the shape of the fastball appears to be on target as well. If he can continue to improve his fastball and changeup locations, then we could see the left-hander miss even more bats and start to chip away at that elevated .317 BABIP.
With a start this week against a Cardinals team that ranks 3rd in baseball with a .784 OPS, Peterson will have perhaps the toughest test of his new pitching philosophy. If he can survive that, and continue to execute on the changes the Mets have laid out for him, his breakout 2024 season may wind up just being the precursor to an even better 2025.
