29-Year-Old PitcherRP
New York Mets AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez made his major-league debut in 2024 and impressed during his rookie season with the Mets. The 28-year-old righty put up a 2.31 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 48:8 K:BB over 35 innings while compiling nine holds across his 25 appearances. Unfortunately, Nunez was shelved for much of the second half after suffering a right flexor strain. He has reportedly responded well to a platelet-rich plasma injection and could pitch in the Dominican Winter League if he continues to progress in his recovery. If healthy for 2025, Nunez will be in line for high-leverage work out of the Mets' bullpen in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
