Mets' Tylor Megill Struggles with Command in Spring Debut

The anticipated 'American spork' pitch was scarcely used as Megill faced difficulties with strike consistency.

Tylor Megill, competing for a spot in the Mets rotation, barely used his new 'American spork' pitch in his spring debut.
The 'American spork,' a splitter modeled after Kodai Senga's 'Ghost fork,' was anticipated to elevate Megill's game.
Megill struggled with command, often falling behind in counts, which limited his use of the new pitch.
Despite the focus on Megill, Nate Lavender also impressed in his spring debut, showcasing a potential future bullpen role.
Shintaro Fujinami, another Mets pitcher, traveled back to Japan for a personal issue, with no timeline for his return.
