Padres Castoff Shines as Mets’ Secret Weapon

Talk about a plot twist! Anthony Nuñez, once a forgotten Padres infield prospect, is now mowing down hitters as a pitcher for the Mets’ Double-A squad. After barely making a dent with the bat, Nuñez reinvented himself on the mound—adding a nasty cutter and touching 96 mph. Now, he’s racking up strikeouts and making Friar Faithful wonder if the Padres missed a hidden gem. Could this be the one that got away? #Mets #Padres #AnthonyNunez #Sports #Baseball
