Ryan Helsley is having a good year but not necessarily one projecting him to finish with Cy Young votes like he did last year. The overall numbers are good. The 3.00 ERA is a little high for a closer. He won’t have that role with the New York Mets except on days when maybe he is available, Edwin Diaz isn’t, and the team is trying to get 3 outs in the ninth.
Helsley has gotten hit hard this season. He is in the bottom 6% of hard-hit rate. The problem has been one pitch in particular.
