Number 0 might be on his swan song, and his laboratory is no more. But Adam Ottavino already has another baseball dream up his sleeve.
The former Rockies reliever, now with the Mets, is 38 years old and will be a free agent at the end of the season. The right-hander doesn’t know what his career holds beyond that, and his pitching lab in a vacant storefront in Harlem where he and others honed their craft for the past seven years is now a credit union.
“This is the first year I’ve had to face the facts that I’m probably a lot closer to the end than I realized,” Ottavino said.
