Impressive in Opening Day win Megill (1-0) earned the win over Washington on Thursday, pitching five scoreless innings and allowing three hits while striking out six. He did not walk any batters.
Impact For much of the spring, Megill was looking at starting the campaign in the minors, but an injury to Jacob deGrom (shoulder) opened the door for Megill to claim a big-league rotation spot. The right-hander was thrust into the Opening Day start to give Max Scherzer more time to recover from a hamstring issue, and he proved undaunted by the spotlight, throwing 47 of 68 pitches for strikes and allowing only four Nationals baserunners. Megill held his own in his first taste of the majors last season and could solidify a permanent rotation spot if he performs well while deGrom is out. Megill's second start is likely to come next week at Philadelphia.

Officially starting Opening Day Megill will start the Mets' Opening Day matchup against the Nationals on Thursday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact The Mets were trending toward awarding the Opening Day start to Megill since Max Scherzer (ankle) won't be ready to pitch Thursday, and manager Buck Showalter confirmed the news Wednesday. Across two appearances (one start) this spring, Megill allowed five hits and five walks while striking out seven in 6.2 scoreless frames.

Expected to start Thursday Megill is expected to start Thursday's Opening Day matchup against Washington, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact Max Scherzer (hamstring) won't be ready to pitch until Friday, so Megill is slated to take the mound on Opening Day after winning a rotation spot during spring training. Megill made 18 starts for the Mets last year and posted a 4.52 ERA, 99:27 K:BB and 1.28 WHIP in 89.2 innings.

Impact Megill appeared to lose his starting role after Chris Bassett was acquired from the Athletics in mid-March, but as the sixth starter behind a group of old and injury-prone arms, he was always likely to have plenty of opportunities. Those opportunities should now be available from the start of the regular season, as deGrom won't even throw for at least a month. Megill's 4.52 ERA from his 18-start debut last year was nothing special, but his 26.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.1 percent walk rate provide reason for optimism.

Working on cutter Megill has added a cutter to his arsenal this spring, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old is still looking for a pitch that can be effective against left-handed hitters, who posted a .995 OPS against him last season. "I definitely wanted to add another weapon," Megill said Sunday. "I wanted something hard and something that goes in to lefties, so they can respect the four-seam. If I have something hard and in, it's just an advantage for me to get on their hands and allow them to second-guess themselves." The addition of Chris Bassitt to the Mets' rotation likely means Megill will begin the season at Triple-A Syracuse despite his surprising performance last year as a rookie, so he'll have some time to hone the new pitch before a potential call-up later this summer. Megill tossed three scoreless innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, giving up two hits and three walks while striking out three.

Back to minors Megill was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
Impact Megill has had some inconsistent outings of late, as he's turned in a 5.68 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across his last four starts and 19 innings. However, he'll end his rookie campaign on a solid note after throwing five scoreless innings to earn the win Friday against Atlanta.
