There’s been a common running theme to season previews for pitchers like Tylor Megill over the past few years. The general gist of it would be that if Pitcher X—someone who has largely looked like a sixth or seventh starter, i.e. a guy who will occasionally show some promise but more often has been thoroughly mediocre throughout their baseball career—can just take a minor step forward, they can establish themselves as a starter the Mets can rely on long-term, and the front office can stop needing to add two or three starting pitchers every single offseason.
Every season, two or three season previews go like that.
