Mets Making Pen Younger

If the age of your relievers directly relates to the quality of your bullpen, the Mets are on the right path.

When Opening Day arrives, Anthony DiComo predicts that these seven players will be in the Mets pen: Devin Williams (31), Luke Weaver (32), Brooks Raley (37), Luis García (39), Tobias Myers (27), Huascar Brazobán (36), Craig Kimbrel (39).

The average age is 34.4 years. That’s more than two years younger than the Mets 2025 pen. Its average age was just under 37.

The Mets got the youngest member of the projected 2026 pen, Tobias Myers, in January along with RHP Freddy Peralta in exchange for RHP Brandon Sproat and SS Jett Williams.

Given that in 2025 three of the top four bullpens in baseball all averaged under 36 years in age, this coming season’s Mets group should allow even fewer runs than last year’s, which allowed the seventh fewest with a 3.55 ERA.
