Nolan McLean, a 24-year-old New York Mets pitcher, has been struggling late in his starts due to a trend of late adjustments by hitters. McLean's batting average against ranked fifth, his on-base percentage against sixth and his slugging percentage against ninth with a 2.67 ERA. His third-place ranking among 100 pitchers who had logged at least four innings of work against an order was 88th, with a 10.80 ERA. Mclean's next step is to maintain his skills and keep opposing hitters guessing deeper in games. He will begin making adjustments when he pitches Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Rockies on Sunday.
