2025 Fantasy Outlook
It took Megill longer than others on the Mets' pitching staff to embrace the team's new emphasis on the sinker. He didn't throw a single two-seamer through the end of June, but from late July on after he was recalled from the minors Megill used the pitch more than 20 percent of the time. It helped him to a 3.00 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB over his final 39 innings, which covered seven starts and one relief appearance. The sinker earned a .250 xwOBA, which was easily the best mark out of Megill's top four most-used pitches. Megill also seemed to solve his career-long issues versus left-handed batters, holding them to a .680 OPS as he introduced a cutter and splitter and threw more curveballs. It's possible Megill gets pushed to the bullpen or minors, depending on how the Mets' address their rotation, but the big righty looks interesting again now that he's got some swing-and-miss back and expanded his repertoire.

Six strikeouts in win

March 29, 2025
Megill (1-0) came away with the win Friday against the Astros after allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six batters in five innings.
ANALYSIS
Megill took a perfect game into the fourth inning Friday, but a quick pair of singles and a sacrifice fly from Yordan Alvarez gave Houston what would ultimately be their only run of the day. Megill needed 77 pitches to get through his five innings and averaged 96.4 mph on his 39 fastballs, which is a tick up from the 95.5 mph he sat at last season. Overall, it was a very good showing from the 29-year-old righty, and he'll get a chance to build on it during the Mets' first home series next week against the Jays.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Megill technically didn't make the Mets' Opening Day roster in 2023, but he was immediately needed as an injury fill-in for Justin Verlander and wound up making 25 starts by the end of the season. The results were underwhelming, with Megill holding a 4.70 ERA and watching his strikeout rate plummet to 18.5 percent and walk rate rise to 10.2 percent. While he has above-average velocity, Megill's fastball was by far his most-used (55.7 percent) and least-effective (48.6 percent hard-hit rate, .408 xWOBA) pitch last season. There should be a little positive regression there in 2024, but Megill has yet to show the ability to be both healthy and effective over long periods of time. He'll probably have to compete in spring training for a spot in the Mets' rotation.
With Jacob deGrom shut down at the time with a shoulder injury and Max Scherzer scratched with ankle issue, Megill got the Opening Day nod for the Mets. He surprised many by pitching like a legitimate ace, going 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB in six starts (33.1 innings) before biceps tendonitis put him on the shelf. The right-hander returned in June only to leave his second start back with shoulder discomfort. A four-week shutdown period ensued and Megill returned in late September as a reliever with time running out in the season. It stands to reason that the Mets will stretch him back out as a starter in spring training assuming he has a normal winter with no setbacks. The health questions leave him as something of a wild card entering 2023. If healthy, he could prove to be a quality back-end piece to a fantasy rotation.
As a rookie, Tylor Megill pitched well in the first month (35.1 IP) - 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 27.1% K%, and 7.6% BB%. Megill's ratios looked solid, but the 93% LOB% and .270 BABIP, plus the 1.09 HR/9, boosted them. However, then the LOB% (69.6%) and BABIP (.315) regressed. The same trend applied with the home run rate evidenced by the 2.48 HR/9 as the ratios ballooned to a 6.13 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in the final 54.1 innings. Some positive takeaways for the last two months - a quality 25.5% K%, 6.8% BB%, and improved 12.8% SwStr% compared to 11% to start the season. Megill's changeup (18.2%) and slider (15.4%) boast double-digit SwStr% with the 4-seam at 9.3%. It's a small sample, but Megill's slider performed the best with a .266 wOBA versus the 4-seam (.353) and change (.342). Target Megill as a breakout pitcher candidate towards the back half of drafts, but there's a chance the Mets bring in another veteran SP.

PNew York Mets
March 18, 2023
Megill likely factors into the equation as the Mets fill the rotation void created by Jose Quintana's rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Megill limped to a 5.13 ERA through 47.1 innings last season. After beginning the season as a starter, he failed to record a win after April and was shut down throughout the summer due to shoulder issues. Megill joined the bullpen upon his return, but he struggled down the stretch. Megill operated as a full-time starter in 2021, logging an expected-ERA of 3.84. Depending on how the Mets officially decide to utilize him, the 27-year-old has upside as a back-end starter.
