Meet Tobias Myers, the other pitcher Mets acquired in Brewers blockbuster — who is more than throw-in

Freddy Peralta will give the Mets an ace in the hole, but the other right-hander New York is acquiring from the Brewers could also be valuable.

As part of the trade that is sending outfield/infield prospect Jeff Williams and pitcher Brandon Sproat to the Brewers, the Mets are also getting pitcher Tobias Myers, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported Tuesday night.

Myers, 27, made his big league debut in 2024 and has pitched as both a reliever and starter.

But his professional career has been a long and winding one, going back all the way to 2016 when he was drafted in the sixth round by the Orioles.

He was then traded three separate times — including in a late 2021 deal that sent Junior Caminero to the Rays — and spent time with Tampa Bay, the Guardians, Giants and White Sox.

Myers eventually landed in the Brewers organization in 2022 before getting his first taste of big league action two years later.

In 27 games (25 starts) in 2024, Myers thrived with a 3.00 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 138 innings.

He notably got the start in deciding Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Mets that season, tossing five scoreless innings with just two hits allowed. The Mets won the game in memorable fashion, though, on the back of Pete Alonso’s three-run homer in the ninth inning off Devin Williams, who, ironically enough, is going to be in the back end of the Amazin’s bullpen after he signed a three-year contract earlier this offseason.

Myers pitched 16 of his 22 games in 2025 in relief and carried a 3.55 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

In 18 games as a reliever in his MLB career, Myers has been exceptional with a 1.62 ERA and 0.84 WHIP, fanning 27 hitters. He has kept his walk rate down out of the bullpen, too, issuing just three passes in 33 1/3 innings.

He has six pitches in his arsenal: fastball, splitter, cutter, slider, changeup and curveball.

Though Myers’ heater — which he deployed 45 percent of the time in 2025 — is 1.5 mph slower than the average big league fastball, it appears like a rising fastball to hitters, making it trickier to hit.

The splitter was a new pitch he added last season, and the opposition hit just .108 against it.

As far as his contract situation, Myers has team control through the 2028 season.
