With the Super Bowl behind us, it’s now time for some baseball.

Kevin Kernan of the New York Post is down in Port St. Lucie, Florida and recently caught up with new Mets skipper, Mickey Callaway. The 42-year-old gave some insight on how camp will be run this year as well as some other important nuggets.

Keeping Pitchers Healthy

In order to keep arms fresh, Callaway suggested the team could go to a six-man rotation at times or give pitchers more time off in between starts in order to keep them fresh.

Additionally, Callaway will be implementing “pre-hab” workouts during the season to keep them loose and ready to go, while lessening their actual time on the field.

“Everyone I’ve been around pretty much walks outside, stretches, plays catch, they do their bullpen. Our pitchers in Cleveland had about an hour-and-a-half routine before they even went out and played catch,” he said. “They were with massage therapists, then they were with trainers, getting all these hands-on things done, then they went to the weight room to see the strength coach for extra stretching, then they went on the bike, then they went outside and stretched.

“It’s pre-hab. If we can implement those types of things, we have a better chance to stay healthy. It does work. When you present it to these guys, they are going to want to do it.”

He also added that he would like to get the guys on the field by 10 a.m. and have them off by 11:15 a.m. the latest. He said this worked in Cleveland and because players aren’t just standing around, the chance of injury is lower.

Different Throwing Layout

In the Mets Spring Training facility by their clubhouse, there are six mounds. On the other side of the complex there are 10. These are called the six and 10-packs, respectively.

In the past, they would have six pitchers throwing to catchers at once, or as much as 10. Callaway said he is not going to have more than four going at once for better quality control.

Some pitchers are already down there including ace Jacob deGrom, who threw a short bullpen session last week leaving Callaway impressed, comparing him to Cleveland Indians ace Corey Kluber.

Additional Nuggets

Callaway said Yoenis Cespedes is a “good dude,” and that he looks different and good this year.

The new Mets skipper also raved about Jay Bruce, who coupled with Cespedes, will give the Mets a nice punch in the middle of the order.

“He does things the right way,’’ Callaway said of Bruce. “I picked his brain about hitting and what pitchers should do.’’
