Mets To Promote Walker Lockett

By Jeff Todd | June 19, 2019 at 10:06am CDT

The Mets will call up righty Walker Lockett to take the ball in tomorrow’s contest, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post (via Twitter). The corresponding roster move isn’t yet known.

Lockett, 25, was passed around over the offseason after making his MLB debut in 2018 with the Padres. He was first dealt to the Indians and then on to the Mets in the swap that shipped catcher Kevin Plawecki to Cleveland.

Slowed by injury to open the year, Lockett has now spun 24 2/3 frames of 3.28 ERA ball for the Mets’ top affiliate, handing out only four walks but also recording a mere nine strikeouts. When he toes the rubber tomorrow evening at Wrigley, he’ll be looking to improve upon his initial showing last year in San Diego. Over 15 innings, Lockett coughed up 16 earned runs on 22 hits with a 12:10 K/BB ratio.

      Very ominous for a SP, but nearly as bad as Homer Bailey.

          That was until they made him change his name to IL Hall.

      Your math’s off. It’s about 4.25/9. Still far from missing bats at anywhere near an ideal level.

    In a just world Lockett would be getting promoted from Nashville to make a spot start and fulfill his destiny in becoming Walker: Texas Ranger.
