2024 Fantasy Outlook
Megill technically didn't make the Mets' Opening Day roster in 2023, but he was immediately needed as an injury fill-in for Justin Verlander and wound up making 25 starts by the end of the season. The results were underwhelming, with Megill holding a 4.70 ERA and watching his strikeout rate plummet to 18.5 percent and walk rate rise to 10.2 percent. While he has above-average velocity, Megill's fastball was by far his most-used (55.7 percent) and least-effective (48.6 percent hard-hit rate, .408 xWOBA) pitch last season. There should be a little positive regression there in 2024, but Megill has yet to show the ability to be both healthy and effective over long periods of time. He'll probably have to compete in spring training for a spot in the Mets' rotation. Read Past Outlooks

Megill is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Nationals at Citi Field, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Megill would stick in the rotation after striking out nine over six shutout innings Monday against the Blue Jays, the right-hander will have to wait more than a week to make his next turn. While Megill would be on normal rest for Saturday's game in Philadelphia or five days' rest for Sunday's series finale, the Mets are instead realigning their rotation to have Luis Severino and David Peterson start those respective games. The shuffling will allow the team's top pitcher, Sean Manaea, to start every five days down the stretch, as the Mets push for a wild-card spot. Manaea will take the hill for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals and will be followed by Megill and Jose Quintana, on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Manaea and Megill will both be on track for two-start weeks, with the two lining up for starts in next weekend's home series versus the Phillies.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
With Jacob deGrom shut down at the time with a shoulder injury and Max Scherzer scratched with ankle issue, Megill got the Opening Day nod for the Mets. He surprised many by pitching like a legitimate ace, going 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB in six starts (33.1 innings) before biceps tendonitis put him on the shelf. The right-hander returned in June only to leave his second start back with shoulder discomfort. A four-week shutdown period ensued and Megill returned in late September as a reliever with time running out in the season. It stands to reason that the Mets will stretch him back out as a starter in spring training assuming he has a normal winter with no setbacks. The health questions leave him as something of a wild card entering 2023. If healthy, he could prove to be a quality back-end piece to a fantasy rotation.
As a rookie, Tylor Megill pitched well in the first month (35.1 IP) - 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 27.1% K%, and 7.6% BB%. Megill's ratios looked solid, but the 93% LOB% and .270 BABIP, plus the 1.09 HR/9, boosted them. However, then the LOB% (69.6%) and BABIP (.315) regressed. The same trend applied with the home run rate evidenced by the 2.48 HR/9 as the ratios ballooned to a 6.13 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in the final 54.1 innings. Some positive takeaways for the last two months - a quality 25.5% K%, 6.8% BB%, and improved 12.8% SwStr% compared to 11% to start the season. Megill's changeup (18.2%) and slider (15.4%) boast double-digit SwStr% with the 4-seam at 9.3%. It's a small sample, but Megill's slider performed the best with a .266 wOBA versus the 4-seam (.353) and change (.342). Target Megill as a breakout pitcher candidate towards the back half of drafts, but there's a chance the Mets bring in another veteran SP.

PNew York Mets
March 18, 2023
Megill likely factors into the equation as the Mets fill the rotation void created by Jose Quintana's rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Megill limped to a 5.13 ERA through 47.1 innings last season. After beginning the season as a starter, he failed to record a win after April and was shut down throughout the summer due to shoulder issues. Megill joined the bullpen upon his return, but he struggled down the stretch. Megill operated as a full-time starter in 2021, logging an expected-ERA of 3.84. Depending on how the Mets officially decide to utilize him, the 27-year-old has upside as a back-end starter.
