Mets Rookie Nolan McLean Makes History with 4-0 Start

UPDATE: Rookie sensation Nolan McLean has made history with a stellar performance, leading the New York Mets to a 12-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on September 5, 2023. McLean’s remarkable start marks him as the first Mets pitcher to achieve a 4-0 record in his first four MLB starts, a feat not seen in the majors since Chase Anderson began 5-0 with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2014.

In a dazzling display, McLean dominated the field by retiring his final 14 batters and finishing the night with seven strikeouts, allowing just two runs on three hits and three walks. This performance places him alongside elite company, becoming the first pitcher to win his first four starts while allowing two or fewer runs in each game since Jered Weaver did so for the Los Angeles Angels in 2006.

McLean’s impressive 28 strikeouts through his first four starts now ranks second in Mets history, just behind the legendary Nolan Ryan, who recorded 29 strikeouts in the same span.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised McLean’s resilience, stating, “Another impressive outing for him… he was able to make adjustments and find a way to get through five or six innings.” Mendoza’s comments reflect the growing confidence in the rookie as he navigates the pressures of the big leagues.

The Mets showcased their offensive prowess with Pete Alonso hitting two home runs, including a towering 435-foot blast in the first inning. Juan Soto also contributed significantly, launching a home run, bringing his season total to 37 in his first year with New York.

In a powerful sixth inning, the Mets scored six runs, highlighted by back-to-back home runs from Alonso and Soto, extending their lead to 12-2. With this victory, the Mets have now moved five games ahead of Cincinnati for the final National League wild card spot. Meanwhile, the Tigers are struggling, having lost seven of their last nine games.

As the Mets continue to push for the playoffs, fans will be eagerly watching McLean’s next starts to see if he can maintain this historic momentum. With each game, he is not just making a name for himself but potentially changing the trajectory of the Mets’ season.

Stay tuned for more updates as the MLB playoff picture evolves.
