Huascar Brazoban wasn’t pitching so well for the New York Mets in late July. Upon the arrival of some new arms, he became the odd man out. The club sent him to the minor leagues with a bold plan of stretching him out to be more of a long man. The plan: make him capable of throwing 40 pitches in relief.
Brazoban has made 3 appearances in Syracuse. 29 and then 28 pitches in his first two outings with some scoreless frames, his most recent outing on Saturday lasted for 31 pitches and couldn’t have gone much worse.
