Latest News
| Defense lets Jonathon Niese down |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) Mets starting pitcher Jonathon Niese pitched well Tuesday against the Reds, as he continues to turn his season around. However one error in the first inning ultimately cost him the game.
Niese got the first two batters in the first inning out, but ran into trouble with a pair of two-out walks and a single that loaded the bases. He appeared to get out of the inning when Todd Frazier hit a groundball right at third baseman David Wright, however the ball went through the Gold Glove winner's legs, allowing two runs to score.
Three runs would ultimately come around to score in the first, all unearned, but that was all for Niese over six strong innings. He allowed five hits and three walks, while striking out a season-high seven batters. Unfortunately, those three runs would be enough to sink the Mets, in a 4-0 loss.
Niese took the loss, despite lowering his ERA to 4.80. He is 3-5 through his first 10 starts of the season. He is scheduled to make his next start Monday against the Yankees at home.

| Jonathon Niese not quite 'back' |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/17/13) All of that practicing in front of a mirror must have paid off for Jonathon Niese because the Mets' left-hander rebounded from two abysmal starts with 7 1/3 strong innings at St. Louis Thursday. Well, isn't that swell? Guess he's useful Fantasy option after all, so if someone cut him loose in your league, go ahead and make a play for him.
But don't assume he's back to normal. There's still that messy issue of the Mets instructing him to pitch to contact.
I don't mean to keep harping on something I heard once on an opposing team's broadcast, but with only three strikeouts again Thursday, Niese has no more than three in any of his last seven starts. He's averaging 4.5 strikeouts per nine innings this year after averaging 7.3 per nine last year.
If that doesn't change, I don't see how he's anything more than a matchups type in mixed leagues.

| Jonathon Niese is 'a mess' |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/16/13) Mets pitcher Jonathon Niese has been working on his mechanics, but a person close to the team says he's a mess, according to Metsblog.com.
Niese hasn't been able to command his breaking pitches this season and is overcompensating by falling into predictable routines. Niese has been working on his mechanics in a mirror, and is trying to stay "tall and straight on the hill."
Niese will start Thursday against the Cardinals. He has a 5.93 ERA and a 5.34 FIP in 41 innings.

| Jon Niese uses mirror to remedy mechanics |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) Mets starting pitcher Jonathon Niese has surrendered 15 earned runs in 8 1/3 innings over two starts in May, and he's taken interesting steps to get past his slow start. Niese has been working on his mechanics in front of a weight room mirror, MLB.com reports.
"Whenever I had free time, I just stepped in front of a mirror and went through my mechanics, and made sure everything's on line," Niese told MLB.com. "I can feel when it's right."
Niese added that he's over the back soreness that hampered him earlier this month. He'll try to turn his season around Thursday against the Cardinals.

| Jonathon Niese had the breakout campaign in 2012 that owners had been waiting for, posting career highs in almost every statistical category. He went 13-9 with a 3.40 ERA in 30 starts and struck out 155 in 190 1/3 innings pitched while walking just 49. It was the first time he posted an ERA under 4.00 and he made 30 starts for the second time in the last three seasons. The left-hander dealt with a rapid heartbeat a couple of times during the season, but underwent a procedure during the offseason and should be fine going forward. At age 26, he could just be scratching the surface of his potential, but keep in mind the fences at Citi Field are being moved in before the season starts. Niese had a 3.74 ERA in his 15 starts at home in 2012. Still, he appears to be on the verge of becoming a solid option in Fantasy so target him in the middle-to-late rounds in most formats on Draft Day. (Updated 12/12/12) |
