Jenrry Mejía

Jenrry Mejía's story is one I find genuinely bittersweet. The Dominican right-hander signed with the New York Mets as an international free agent in 2007, debuted in the majors in 2010, and by May 2014 had earned the closer's role, the high-pressure job teams hand only to arms they trust. At 183cm he had the live stuff to chase that ceiling. What lingers for me is how much promise was packed into those few seasons and how thin the margins are at that level. I look at his path and see talent that flickered bright, the kind that makes you wonder what a smoother road might have produced.
