Mets gets an extra draft pick after the 1st round if McLean wins ROY.
Or he finishes top 3 in MVP/Cy Young (Skenes-Yamamoto-McLean?)
He pitched a combined 161 innings last year (109.2 innings in 2024) so there shouldn't be much of an innings limit.
Look for a big special rookie year in 2026!

I thought McLean didn’t pitch enough innings to qualify as a Rookie
things like this make me nervous
JJ Wetherholt who has not had a MLB at bat or Nolan McLean who dominated in 8 starts / 48 innings… hmmmm
My prediction: Wetherholt is going to be sent down mid-season after struggling to adjust to MLB pitching.
McLean is the safest bet since Ohtani.
Benge is a sleeper
