• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Crumbles in fifth inning

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sproat (1-2) took the loss Friday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out two. Sproat cruised through four innings to begin his outing, but things fell apart for him when he conceded four runs amid the Marlins' six-run fifth frame. The two strikeouts were his fewest of the season, as he was unable to give the playoff-hopeful Mets a quality showing in what was a crucial game for the club. Sproat has struggled with run prevention despite not giving up a single home run in four starts, as he'll wrap up the regular season with a 4.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Brilliant start wasted

  09/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sproat didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, allowing six hits over six scoreless innings. He struck out three without walking a batter. Making his second trip to the mound in the big leagues, Sproat rose to the occasion in the heat of a playoff race as he needed only 70 pitches (53 strikes) to deliver his second straight quality start. The right-hander left the mound in line for his first career win, but Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Sproat will take a 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB through his first 12 MLB innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Nationals.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Team mulling call-up

  09/04/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sproat is in "strong consideration" to receive a call-up from Triple-A Syracuse to make a start with the Mets, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports. Sproat has had an up-and-down season with Triple-A Syracuse and has been bypassed by Nolan McLean and Jonah Tong for promotions. However, he's collected a 2.44 ERA and 70:21 K:BB over 59 innings covering his last 11 outings and struck out nine across seven shutout frames in his most recent appearance Saturday. It's not clear exactly where Sproat might slot into the Mets rotation, but Kodai Senga's rotation spot is on thin ice, and Sean Manaea has also struggled lately.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Might join big-league bullpen

  07/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sproat could be an option for the Mets' bullpen if the team doesn't trade for any high-leverage relievers at the deadline, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. General manager David Stearns has gone this route in the past during his time in Milwaukee, breaking in future aces Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta in relief roles. The Mets are actively working to acquire established bullpen arms however, and using a prospect like Sproat in high-leverage spots during a playoff push would appear to be Plan B. Sproat has had an erratic season with Triple-A Syracuse but is locked in right now, tossing 23 scoreless innings over his last four starts with a 27:6 K:BB.

• Mets' Brandon Sproat: Finding groove at Triple-A

  04/13/2025 • By RotoWire

  Sproat gave up one run on two hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in Saturday's start for Triple-A Syracuse. After a bumpy first outing this season, Sproat has bounced back to post an 8:2 K:BB over his last two starts and 8.1 innings for Syracuse. The 24-year-old righty tossed 75 pitches (51 strikes) in Saturday's appearance, and while he'll need to be more efficient before he'll be a real option for a spot start with the Mets, he's making progress toward his big-league debut.
