Promising New York Mets prospect Nolan McLean will start for Team USA against Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic final at LoanDepot Park. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza expressed mixed feelings about McLean’s debut in such a high-pressure environment, acknowledging the unique experience while also feeling nervous. McLean, who had a strong MLB debut with a 5-1 record and 2.06 ERA, faces a different challenge representing his country on a global stage. Mendoza hopes McLean remains unaffected by the intensity of the game, which some critics deem a “meaningless exhibition.”
