Heading in to 2019, Ty Bashlor appeared locked in to a middle relief role for the Mets. A prep-pitcher draft pick in 2013 who took his time getting to the majors, this seemed to be an ideal role for the six foot righty, giving him a chance to continue to grow after dominating the high minors and surviving a brief cameo at the end of 2018. Instead, Bashlor crashed and burned, logging only 22 major league innings with a 6.95 ERA and a ghastly 6.95 BB/9. With that failed season in the rear view mirror, the clock is ticking for a 27-year-old that was once a borderline top-10 prospect in the system.
