2025 Fantasy Outlook
Butto didn't break camp with the Mets, but he was called up in the first week. He started seven games with an impressive 3.08 ERA, but 21 walks in 38 innings sent him to Triple-A Syracuse in mid-May. Butto was recalled in early July to fortify the bullpen. He posted a 2.00 ERA as a reliever, with an impressive 29.7 percent strikeout rate, more than five ticks better than his level as a starter. However, his walk rate barely fell, from 13.5 to 12.3 percent. Allowing only six homers in 74 frames kept Butto's ERA in check, though the estimators pegged it a run-and-a-half higher than actual. With the Mets gearing up for a playoff run with veteran starters, Butto will likely stay in the bullpen. He may garner some holds, but unless he improves control, expect an ERA spike.

Available in relief Monday
PNew York Mets
March 17, 2025
Butto (groin) is listed as an available relief option for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Butto hasn't made any appearances since March 7 while tending to a minor groin injury, but after throwing a bullpen session over the weekend without issue, he looks like he'll be incorporated into the Mets' spring pitching schedule Monday. The 26-year-old right-hander should have an inside track on a spot in New York's Opening Day bullpen after submitting a 2.55 ERA and 1.07 WHIP while striking out 79 batters over 74 innings during the regular season in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Butto received an extended look in the Mets' rotation last season and was solid with a 3.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB over 42 innings. He fared much worse at Triple-A Syracuse (5.93 ERA in 19 starts), which gives some pause for the big-league numbers given the small sample size. The right-hander isn't likely to make the Opening Day rotation in 2024 but could earn a spot in the bullpen with a strong showing in spring training.
Butto made his big-league debut in August and was rocked for seven runs on nine hits -- including a couple home runs -- over four innings in Philadelphia. That's going to leave a mark for a while, but one poor outing should not overshadow Butto's larger body of work between Double-A and Triple-A in 2022. The right-hander pitched to a 3.56 ERA and 138:44 K:BB in 129 innings across the two highest levels of minor-league baseball last season, establishing himself as a prospect to watch in the Mets organization. He's a fastball-curveball-changeup pitcher with a 10-mph gulf in velocity between the heater and offspeed. The Mets don't need to force the issue, but Butto is on the 40-man roster and will be a candidate for spot starts and cleanup duty as needed.
