00:00The Mets are reportedly calling up one of their most intriguing pitching prospects after a slew
00:06of injuries to the pitching staff. They're calling up 28-year-old reliever Alex Carrillo ahead of
00:11Tuesday's series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. In 19 games in the minors this season,
00:17Carrillo has pitched 25 innings with an ERA of 3.24 and 40 strikeouts. He's only allowed 15 hits
00:25and his fastball has reached 100 miles per hour. In his four games in AAA, he's not allowed a hit,
00:32a run, or a walk. And he's had five and two-thirds perfect innings and 10 strikeouts with Syracuse.
00:39Now Carrillo pitched for the Washington Wild Things in 2024 on a one-year contract and he was signed
00:45by the Mets in the offseason out of the Venezuelan winter league.
