Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Art Warren is a right-handed relief pitcher who has solidified his position in the New York Mets bullpen during the 2026 season. Since being recalled from Triple-A to replace Carl Edwards Jr., Warren has posted a dominant 0.82 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 11 innings pitched. He has surrendered only one earned run through 18.1 total innings in 2026 with a 9.3 K/9 strikeout rate across 12 game appearances. Warren was originally acquired off waivers from the San Francisco Giants in January 2025 and has maintained a 0.98 ERA across his tenure with the Mets. A key adjustment in 2026 has been his pitch mix, transitioning to throwing sweepers for more than 50% of his pitches, allowing just two hits against the pitch in 15 plate appearances. He has consistently pitched in multiple relief roles including high-leverage situations.
