Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Tobias Myers, a 27-year-old right-hander acquired by the Mets in the Freddy Peralta trade, has emerged as a versatile utility pitcher for New York. In 2026, he has been used as an opener, long reliever, setup man, and closer. Myers recorded his first career save on May 15 with a perfect 10th inning against the Diamondbacks. He entered the day with a 3.42 ERA over 12 appearances and has shown the ability to handle multiple roles effectively. Manager Carlos Mendoza has praised his strike-throwing ability, consistency, and competitiveness.
