Christian Scott does not have a strict innings limit, despite the way in which the Mets have limited him this season, David Stearns said.
such as pulling him at 77 pitches in Monday’s loss to the Pirates“There’s no crystal ball here. We don’t know exactly what the right answer is, in terms of pitch counts. We don’t have a firm innings limit on Scotty,” Stearns, the team’s president of baseball operations, said Tuesday at Citi Field before the Mets and Nationals opened a three-game series. “We’re going to try to do our best to evaluate how he’s feeling start-to-start, month-to-month and go from there.
“We kind of knew that one of these first couple of starts we’re probably going to push him a little harder and one of them we’re going to have a little bit more reins on him.”The 25-year-old Scott has pitched well, notching a 4.15 ERA in seven starts with a 1.03 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 39 innings. But, as a converted reliever, he has never thrown more than 87 ²/₃ innings in a single season, and is already at 81 ¹/₃ — factoring in his innings at Triple-A Syracuse — this year.“Trying to give him as much rest and recovery as possible. There’s no innings limit, there’s also trying to be smart about this,” Stearns said. “We’re trying to get him to the finish line of what we hope is going to be a competitive year and a playoff push and hopefully beyond that.
