BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Double-A Affiliate of the New York Mets, announced Monday that RHP Nolan McLean has been named the Eastern League (EL) Pitcher of the Week for September 9-15.

McLean, who ranks as the Mets No. 9 prospect by MLB Pipeline, allowed just two hits over six scoreless frames on Thursday night against Portland, earning the win in a 9- 0 Rumble Ponies victory. He allowed just two walks and struck out six, at one point retiring 10 batters in a row.

In five of his last six starts, McLean did not allow more than two earned runs. In 25 starts between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton in 2024, McLean finished with a 3.78 ERA.
