The Mets are selecting the contract of hard-throwing righty Alex Carrillo<\/strong>, as first reported by Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. He\u2019s not on the 40-man roster, so they\u2019ll need to make multiple transactions to facilitate the 28-year-old\u2019s first call to the majors.<\/p>\n

Carrillo\u2019s journey to the majors is fairly remarkable. The California native went undrafted out of Alabama\u2019s Faulkner University in 2019 and briefly signed with the Rangers that summer. He pitched 4 1\/3 innings with their Rookie-level affiliate in the Arizona Complex League but, like many low-level minor leaguers, was cut loose the following year as teams released large swaths of young talent in the early stages of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Up until Opening Day 2025, those 4 1\/3 innings in the Rangers system was Carrillo\u2019s only experience in affiliated ball. He\u2019s since pitched for two different teams in the independent Frontier League and has also pitched in two seasons for los Tigers de Quintana Roo in the Mexican League. The Mets scouted him this past winter when he was pitching for los Tigres de Aragua in the Venezuelan Winter League, and Carrillo impressed enough to land a minor league contract.<\/p>\n

Carrillo was not invited to major league spring training and was assigned to Double-A to begin his Mets tenure. He\u2019s proven to be a terrific under-the-radar pickup thus far. The 6\u20192\u2033, 220-pound righty posted a 4.19 ERA in 19 1\/3 Double-A frames but did so with an eye-catching 36.6% strikeout rate. That 4.19 earned run average also included a rocky start that was followed by a huge finish; Carrillo pitched 14 1\/3 innings with a 1.88 ERA and a 24-to-3 K\/BB ratio before being promoted to Triple-A. He\u2019s responded with another 5 2\/3 innings of nearly perfect pitching in Syracuse. Carrillo hasn\u2019t allowed a hit or a walk there but did plunk one batter. He\u2019s fanned ten opponents and averaged 98.5 mph on his heater.<\/p>\n

Setting aside Carrillo\u2019s first four appearances with the Mets \u2014 he allowed six runs in five innings during that initial stretch \u2014 he\u2019s riding a 20-inning streak of 1.35 ERA ball with just three runs on nine hits and three walks. He\u2019s punched out 34 batters in that time and has shown the ability to reach triple digits with his four-seamer.<\/p>\n

Since this is Carrillo\u2019s first call to the majors, he\u2019ll have a full slate of minor league options. The Mets will be able to shuttle him up and down between Syracuse and Queens for the remainder of this season and two subsequent seasons. He\u2019ll have the standard six full seasons of club control, meaning that if he can continue to shatter expectations, he can be controlled all the way through 2031.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
