After four seasons in Rookie ball, Uceta began 2017 at low Class A Columbia and ended at Double-A Binghamton after making a role change and experiencing a velocity spike. A middling starter prior to 2017, Uceta moved to the bullpen and recorded a 1.51 ERA in 41 appearances while striking out 67 in 59.2 innings. He pitched at 92-94 mph at Columbia, but sat 96-99 by the end of the season. He pitches from a three-quarters arm slot and his ball features plus running action to his arm side. Uceta throws a sinking changeup with fade in the mid-80s that can be an above-average weapon. His workable slurvy breaking ball gives him a pitch to throw to his glove side, forcing batters to focus on both sides of the plate. With a large frame, high-effort delivery and spotty rotation record, Uceta is now a full-time reliever. Some in the Mets organization liken him to big league reliever Hansel Robles.
