Sandy Alderson was on MLB Network on Monday, and discussed Wheeler, and the innings limit the organization feels is appropriate for him to start. Alderson set they’re comfortable with 125 innings for the righty this season.
This specific target is a little bit more than what was expected. Originally, Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen had said that Wheeler’s limit would be in the low 100’s, which many took to mean it would be around 105 to 110.
Dan Warthen has told reporters Wheeler will have an innings limit in the low 100s, so the bullpen to start out at least seems more likely.
