Steamer projections for NY Mets rookie Nolan McLean are insulting

Steamer projections are already out over on Fangraphs and what they had to say about sensational New York Mets rookie Nolan McLean is insulting.

After going 5-1 with a 2.06 ERA in 48 innings for the Mets in 2025, the steamer machine has him going 10-9 with a 3.76 ERA in 2026. It's a likely scenario to see him decline in some regards over a larger sample. This much?

The ERA is worse than David Peterson who gets a courtesy 3.69 ERA, significantly down from the 4.22 he finished the year with. What’s going on here?
