Mets pitching prospect Zack Wheeler struggled in his season debut at Triple-A.
Wheeler tossed 86 pitches in just 3 1/3 innings, giving up two runs. He struggled with his control, walking three and throwing a wild pitch. Wheeler is one of the team's top prospects, and is thought to be close to major-league ready.
He's had a limited experience at Triple-A, and the team wants him to work on a few things before he gets called up to the majors for good.
