Jose Butto's transition to a reliever role with the Mets for the 2025 season has him feeling relieved. Recognized for his effective pitching, Butto recorded a 2.00 ERA and three saves in 36 innings last season. Understanding the nuances of relief pitching, he sought guidance from veterans and coaches, learning to adjust his approach, especially with runners on base. Manager Carlos Mendoza noted that while Butto was eager to contribute during a playoff push, the mental strain of relief pitching was significant. As he heads into spring training, Butto aims to refine his routine, focusing on pitch efficiency and game awareness.
