The Mets are hosting their final home series of the 2023 season against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. This four-game set includes the team's four most promising young pitchers, who are expected to be key players in next year's rotation. Nolan McLean, the starting right-handed ace, is set to begin Thursday night's series opener, while Zac Thornton, Christian Scott, and Jonah Tong will follow in subsequent games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
McLean, who has a 3.24 ERA, is a lock for the 2027 rotation, while Scott and Thornton, both with 3.72 ERAs, are also likely to make the team. Tong, after a challenging season at Triple-A, is finishing strong with a 3.27 ERA, further bolstering the Mets' pitching prospects for the coming season.
