The New York Mets have officially signed right-handed pitcher Dan Hammer to a two-year minor league contract, as reported by MLB.com’s Anthony Dicomo. This move marks a new chapter for Hammer, who has been working to establish himself in the professional ranks since being drafted.

Hammer was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 13th round of the 2019 MLB Draft. He spent his early career developing within Baltimore’s minor league system, showcasing his potential on the mound. Last year, he transitioned to the Tampa Bay Rays organization after being selected in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

In the 2022 season, the 28-year-old pitcher made a total of 31 appearances in relief for the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits. Throughout his minor league journey, Hammer has accumulated a career 5.34 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP, alongside 303 strikeouts. As he joins the Mets, he will look to build on his experience and make an impact in the franchise’s future plans.
