Thornton’s Curveball Breaks Through | New York Mets News

Zac Thornton showed real grit in his latest start, striking out seven while allowing just three runs over five innings — even though the Mets fell to a team that snapped their four-game win streak. The real story? He finally unleashed his curveball in the big leagues, something manager Andy Green called a major breakthrough. Once a solid minor league weapon, the pitch now breaks down and away, giving Thornton a new way to attack hitters — especially since his fastball tends to run in. With Tatis Jr. crushing two homers off him, Thornton still battled effectively, matching his career-high strikeout total while limiting damage. This newfound confidence with his curveball could be the key to unlocking his full potential against MLB bats.
