Mets’ Sean Manaea ‘proud’ to be pitching deep into games down the stretch

Sean Manaea has quickly developed into the ace of the Mets’ rotation.

The southpaw has been dominant since making a well documented change to his mechanics inspired from watching Atlanta Braves Cy Young candidate Chris Sale mow down the Mets lineup in a start at Citi Field.

“It’s been a huge change for me,” Manaea said. “I think the results are speaking for themselves. I feel like I’ve been throwing more strikes, everything is kind of coming out of the same slot, and I just have a lot of confidence in my stuff right now.
