The New York Mets added some much-needed depth to their minor league pitching by bringing in six-foot, seven-inch right-hander Sam McWilliams. His signing also came with an interesting salary amount. McWilliams major league salary of $750k ($195K in the minors) was the largest salary for any player without MLB service time (excluding players playing in Asia) in the last 10 years.
Some strikeouts from new Mets reliever Sam McWilliams. As you can see his slider is his best pitch. Sorry for the choppy footage. pic.twitter.com/exys5vAdsQ
