After 16 pitches that no one else in the Mets’ depleted bullpen needed to throw, Hartwig could exhale and celebrate with his parents.
Hartwig was a capable, if not outstanding, starter and reliever with Miami of Ohio and went undrafted in 2021.The pre-med and microbiology major signed up for the MCAT, believing he would apply to medical school.Last year, Hartwig rose from Single-A Port St. Lucie all the way to Triple-A Syracuse.
With the Mets playing down one roster spot because of Drew Smith’s sticky-stuff suspension, they called up Hartwig and optioned righty John Curtiss, who pitched 2 ²/₃ innings in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals. He apologized when he realized it was manager Dick Scott, who told him he was going to the big leagues.Hartwig doesn’t know what will lie in his future and whether he will one day pursue medical school again.Francisco Alvarez was pulled in the bottom of the ninth inning after he took a foul ball off his right hand while catching an inning prior.X-rays were negative, the team said, but his status was not immediately clear.“Right now I feel good,” Alvarez said through interpreter Alan Suriel.
Alvarez was in pain and checked by trainers, but after a few tosses with Pete Alonso, he finished out the inning.
