## Resource

Zach Thornton, the Mets’ rookie pitcher, dazzled in his latest start, tossing seven shutout innings against Boston’s potent lineup—no runs, just two hits, and elite control. With a fastball that barely cracks 90, Thornton outsmarted hitters by mastering all five of his pitches, a lesson learned from watching Jacob deGrom. He retired 13 of 14 batters, threw just 82 pitches, and earned another major league start—exactly what a struggling Mets rotation needs. Confident and fearless, Thornton proves he belongs at the highest level, offering hope and a bright spot in a season full of disappointments.
