David Peterson faces a Maker Break season in 2026 with the New York Mets.

It's the final year of his contract, and without an extension, he'll hit free agency after the World Series.

At the peak of his career as a left-handed starter, this summer is his big chance to shine and land a huge deal.

Last year, Peterson had a split season.

Before the All-Star Break, he posted a strong 3.06 earned run average and was a reliable arm for the rotation.

Things changed dramatically afterward, with his earned run average jumping to 6.34 amid team struggles.

Peterson has owned up to the second half slump.

He called it a version of himself he didn't recognize and wasn't happy with.

Fans in the front office watched a promising pitcher fade late in the year, raising questions about his endurance over a full schedule.

This off-season, he's dug into what went wrong physically.

He studied his fatigue patterns and made changes to his training to build better stamina for the long grind ahead.

At Peterson stays strong all season, it could boost the Mets rotation and give him serious leverage and free agency.

Everyone's watching to see if he turns things around.
