Mets Sign Right-Handed Pitcher Justin Hagenman to Major League Deal

The New York Mets have added some depth to their pitching staff, signing right-handed pitcher Justin Hagenman to a one-year major league contract.

Hagenman, 28, spent the 2024 season with the Worcester Red Sox, the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. He posted a 4-6 record with a 4.91 ERA in 28 games (15 starts). Despite the ERA, Hagenman showcased improved performance, particularly with his newly added sweeper pitch.

The right-hander has spent his entire six-year professional career in the minor leagues, accumulating a 3.87 ERA and striking out 9.3 batters per nine innings.

Hagenman's signing provides the Mets with additional pitching depth, especially as they head into the offseason with uncertainty surrounding their rotation.
