How Tall Is Yennsy Díaz?
Yennsy Díaz’s height is 1.85 m
Yennsy Daz began his professional career with the Blue Jays before being traded to the Mets as part of the Steven Matz deal in late January.
Besides his one appearance in the majors, the 24-year-old right-handed pitcher hasn’t pitched above Double-A.
A relief pitcher at times in his minor league career, Daz has spent the majority of his time pitching in the rotation.
At this point last year, after spending half his time at home in Florida, he concluded the season with an impressive 2.88 earned run average in the Gulf Coast League.
At least in terms of outcomes, things didn’t go so well in the following two seasons. Just 77.0 innings into the 2017 season in Single-A, Daz had a 4.79 earned run average, down from the 5.79 earned run average of 56.0 innings in 2016.
Daz, who turned 22 in 2018, made a significant leap ahead in his career. He began the season in Single-A and was promoted to High-A after nine strong starts.
When you add up his 27 appearances (two of which were relief appearances) and his 147.1 innings pitched, you end up with a 3.05 earned run average (ERA).
While making 21 appearances in Double-A this year, he was called up and made one appearance in the Major Leagues in early August.
This was a bullpen appearance, and he struggled mightily, allowing two runs on two hits and walking four batters without recording a strikeout.
A 2.27 ERA in five starts at Double-A rounded up Daz’s rookie campaign with the Toronto Blue Jays. In 144.1 innings pitched at Double-A, he had a season ERA of 3.74.
To begin the 2021 season, Daz is most likely to open the year in Triple-A Syracuse.
Daz is one of a number of pitchers that will begin the season in the upper minors for the Mets, who currently have more starting pitch depth than they have had in a long time.
His performance and the performance of his peers will most likely determine which of these Mets pitchers gets a chance to pitch in the main leagues.
