KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Will it be Hansel Robles, sophomore sensation?
The 25-year-old righty grabbed the Mets’ attention last season, when he was thrust into a bullpen in disarray and emerged among manager Terry Collins’ most dependable options.
Now the secret is out: Robles has the potential to become something special.
“He matured an incredible amount,” pitching coach Dan Warthen said. “I don’t know for years to come if he can’t become a possible closer, if necessary. That’s how good I think he has a chance to be.
