RHP TJ Shook. What can I say? One of my favorite unheralded, under-appreciated, under-discussed talented arms in the system. The 2020 undrafted FA worked his way up the organizational ladder into the Swiss army knife of the Shuckers pitching staff the past two seasons. When TJ was locating in or near the zone, he was as good a starter as most in the Brewers system. Ever the selfless teammate, however, he filled any and all roles for the Shuckers pitching staff and was nearly always available. I personally think his best days are ahead. And, I personally think the Brewers sold Low here. He had shown the ability to strike batters out at a near 28% clip to a reduced walk rate of just 8 % this season - improved numbers building off his fantastic close to 2023. His change-up has shown flashes of being one of the better pitches in the system. And, when he's on his game, his heat has plus movement. The Brewers love their AAAA pool of arms, and Jay will most certainly enter that Mix. But, I like this trade much better for the Mets today than I do the Brewers. Again, these are just my opinions. Sad to see TJ go but I will most certainly be following him in the Mets system.
