  1. Where do players stay when they’re at spring training and how do they get around? What’s a typical day in spring training like?

  4. How aware are you of prospect rankings and what different evaluators say about your game? Does it tend to mirror what you discuss internally, or are some of these “evaluations” just very shallow and/or off?

  5. Is there anything you’re able to share about what has been so great about the Mets minor league pitching development over recent years; as we see guys like yourself make real strides in their on field performance?

  6. When did you start playing baseball and pitching?

    Who was your favorite pitcher growing up?

    Funniest/nicest teammate?

  7. Are there games where your goal is to work on a specific mechanic or pitch? Like is there a scenario where you are just as focused on fixing or developing something as much as you are looking for a clean inning?

  10. Can you describe Jagers, Rodgers, Willard, and McKinney for us fans? What makes them great coaches? I see you were a Cub fan, did you watch any of the 2015 NLCS? Lastly, do you have friendships with Tong, Watson, or Mclean?

  12. David Stearns has completely overhauled our minor leagues and especially pitching development. Does it feel like the Mets are good at helping pitchers? Us fans have been told the Mets have made great strides in pitching development. But does it feel like that to you guys?

    You are doing a great job Jack very happy to have ya

  14. what makes Willard, McKinney great coaches? As a cub fan growing up did you watch 2015 NLCS? Do you have friendships with Tong, Watson of McLean?

  15. Not a question but happy to have you Jack and wish you luck, hope to see you in the majors soon!

  17. Lots of noise in recent years about the Mets pitching lab and development. Has the system helped you in any specific or interesting way?

  18. Jack! I think youre the best pitcher left in the farm system who hasn’t debuted! Few questions 1) is there a reason you like the number 29 and 2) which pitchers did you grow up idolizing and are there any you follow and want to be like now? Thanks!

  19. Who’s a player you’ve come up with in the minors, somebody not real well known or a top prospect, who you think is really good and is gonna surprise everybody?

  20. Are there any metrics/stats or other measures of success that the organization focuses on that fans would be surprised by?

  22. You’re the man Jack! Glad you’re a Met. I have two questions about one AB from the EL Championship last year where punched out McGonigle in the 1st inning.

    Two back door sliders for called strikes then whiff on I think your splitter running away.

    1. ⁠The tight slider looked like a new pitch for you in the last year or so. Dotted both up here really nicely. How long does it take for the confidence to grow in a new pitch where you feel comfortable using it in big spots like this one?

    2. ⁠Was the last pitch your splitter? If so was that a tweak to get the crazy run on it or did it just dance on it’s own?

    Such a nasty sequence and you were a dog in the playoffs. Thank you dude, can’t wait for the season.

  23. 1. What’s your favorite pitch of yours? 

    2. What are you most excited for with this coming season? 

    3. Who’s your best friend in the org?
