Scouting Report: Huascar Brazoban
New York Mets | RP
Overall
Summary
Huascar Brazoban is serving as the Mets' opener in a tandem arrangement with David Peterson, marking the third such pairing in May 2026. The right-handed pitcher has been heavily utilized by the Mets, appearing in multiple games with strong performance metrics including a 1.53 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through 17.2 innings. However, recent reports indicate concerns about potential overuse similar to what happened with Reed Garrett, who suffered an elbow injury from excessive workload. Brazoban has been called upon to start games following Clay Holmes' fractured fibula injury, expanding his role beyond traditional relief appearances.
Strengths
- Strong ERA of 1.53 with 0.96 WHIP
