On September 7th, Jonah Tongue is back in the big leagues with the Metz, and the club house is filling the energy. He's getting another shot at the majors after a bit of a rocky road since his initial call up last year. He's only 23, but he's already seen some ups and downs, and he says he's learned a lot from it. Last season, Tongue burst onto the scene, but struggled a bit when hitter started to figure out his two-pitch arsenal. He's been working on adding a cutter and refining his curveball, and even adjusted his arm angle to become a more complete pitcher. It's a big change from just relying on that heavy foreseemer. He's been through a lot, facing tough performances and being sent back down, but he's talking about being a better person now, leaning on his support system. It sounds like he's ready to handle whatever comes his way, whether it's success or failure. Lately, things have been looking up for Tongue. He's had some really strong outings in triple-A Syracuse, showing off that improved change-up and cutter. Opposing hitters are struggling to get much off him, which is a good sign he's found

his groove again. Now, he's not just getting a brief look, he's being put into the rotation. This is his chance to prove he belongs, and to make a case for himself and the team's future plans. He's focused on his next start, ready to show what he can do. This has been New York Met's News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
