Scouting Report: Austin Warren

Summary

Austin Warren, a right-handed relief pitcher for the New York Mets, has solidified his position in the bullpen following his recall from Triple-A in May 2026. Warren has posted an impressive 0.82 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 11 innings pitched, allowing only one earned run through 18.1 total innings in 12 appearances. He has made a significant pitch adjustment, transitioning to sweepers for over 50% of his pitches (up from a sinker-heavy approach in 2025), resulting in just two hits allowed against the sweeper in 15 plate appearances. Warren has been a reliable asset for the Mets during a challenging stretch marked by offensive struggles, starting pitching difficulties, and roster injuries. He was originally acquired off waivers from the San Francisco Giants in January 2025 and maintains a 0.98 ERA across his tenure with the Mets.
