Observations from Mets spring training Saturday:
Pitching in
It’s still unclear if Tobias Myers will be a starter or long reliever for the Mets, but he has been sharp in both roles this spring — including his three-inning stint in his start against Washington at Clover Park. He allowed just a run on two hits and struck out four.
WBC ya later
Several big names on the Mets are ready to leave camp and head to the World Baseball Classic, with Juan Soto at the top of the list after playing both Friday and Saturday. Soto has looked comfortable so far in left field after moving from right this spring.
Caught my eye
Francisco Alvarez, in his first game behind the plate this spring, made a strong throw to second on a stolen base by Harry Ford and said he felt good afterward. He also won an ABS challenge during his own at-bat to draw a walk.
Sunday’s Schedule
Clay Holmes will make his final Grapefruit League start with the Mets before leaving to pitch for Team USA in the WBC when the Mets host Houston at 1:10 p.m. at Clover Park.
