The New York Mets rolled out their No. 3 prospect against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday evening to close out the three-game series sweep. Nolan McLean made his third MLB career start, and much like the previous two, he was dominant against the Phillies.
McLean, a 2023 third-round draft pick (91st overall) out of Oklahoma State University, entered the minor leagues as a two-way player, hitting in both 2023 and 2024 before focusing solely on pitching for the 2025 season.

The disastrous series for the Phillies ended with McLean throwing eight scoreless innings with six strikeouts while allowing only four hits in a 6-0 win that completed the Mets’ series sweep.
