Mets Prospect Ryan Lambert’s 100 MPH Spring Puts Viral Raw‑Egg Regimen in the Spotlight

Coaches label the right-hander electric, saying strikes will unlock a Mets role.

Overview

  • Lambert once consumed 30 raw eggs a day for a month to aid muscle gain and recovery, and he still downs roughly 10 raw eggs regularly.
  • He has been the hardest thrower in early camp at 99.6 mph after touching 100.9 mph last season.
  • The 23-year-old posted a 1.62 ERA with 81 strikeouts in about 50 innings in 2025, ranking among the minors’ top strikeout rates at 14.6 per nine.
  • In his Grapefruit League debut he fanned three of four batters, prompting manager Carlos Mendoza to call him “electric” and note his ceiling hinges on throwing strikes.
  • Drafted in the eighth round in 2024 after a viral 99 mph bullpen video, he is refining a changeup as evaluators, including player-development chief Andrew Christie, tout his high-leverage mindset.
