Joey Lucchesi received his first “adrenaline jump” of spring training Friday, when he returned for the closest thing to major league action he has experienced in more than 1 1/2 years.
The Mets left-hander displayed the cutter on which he has been working and threw his signature pitch, the “churve,” five times. Over two shutout innings, he allowed one hit and one walk in an intrasquad scrimmage in front of a few hundred fans at Clover Park.
“I thought I could have contributed,” said Lucchesi, who was acquired by the Mets from the Padres, in a three-way trade that included the Pirates, before the 2021 season. “I definitely wanted to get the call-up and help the team out, especially against my former team [in the playoffs]. But it was out of my control. It was a little sad, but it’s a new year and just look ahead.” “I want to just help contribute to the team any way,” Lucchesi said.
“Usually I just lift traditionally, like dead lift and squat, heavy as I can and run as long as I can,” Lucchesi said. “But over there, they had me do single leg, single arm compound workouts, different types of movement, opening my diaphragm. I feel slimmer, but more explosive and mobile.
