Reed plugs a ‘leak’ in his delivery

LAKELAND, Fla. — Addison Reed got lit up Friday, allowing six earned runs on six hits in two-thirds of an inning. So very early Sunday morning, the setup man, who will be closing if Jeurys Familia is suspended for domestic violence, was out with pitching coach Dan Warthen in the bullpen working on a “delivery flaw.”

“He was leaking out towards first base,” Warthen said, motioning that the reliever was letting his body lean towards first as he followed through. “He fixed it this morning. Not an issue.”

Reed said it was a pretty simple fix and he’ll be ready to step into the closer role if needed. “The inning doesn’t matter to me,” Reed said, “I think pretty much all of us out there can do the job if needed.”

While most relievers will say the inning doesn’t matter to them, Reed seemingly is willing to put his money where his mouth is. The 28-year-old, who has 106 career saves in six seasons with the White Sox, Diamondbacks and Mets, is in his final season before free agency. He said he is not necessarily going to look for a closer’s contract next winter.

“It really doesn’t matter to me,” Reed told the Daily News. “As long as it’s a good deal and a good fit. I am not really thinking about it yet, but I am happy here and happy with my role here.”

Reed said he is thrilled that the Mets brought back basically the same bullpen as last season.

“When they signed Jerry (Blevins) and (Fernando) Salas right before camp, I was really excited, because we had a really good group last year and I think we can compete with anyone,” Reed said. “I like what we have going and am glad we’re getting another chance.”

CONFORTO COOLING OFF

Michael Conforto opened the spring on a tear. He had five hits, including two home runs in the first four games and hit .500 through February. Sunday he went 0-for-3 and has gone 2 for his last 15.

Terry Collins has noticed a difference in Conforto’s approach. “The (at-bats) I’ve seen, he’s got to begin working the middle of the field again,” the Mets manager said. “That’s when he is the most dangerous, when he goes the opposite way.

“We’ll continue to play him,” Collins said before adding he knows the 23-year-old is tired from having been put on all the long bus trips this week.

“We’ve played a lot of games in a short period of time. Guys are a little worn out.

Center fielder Juan Lagares, who was scheduled to make the two-hour bus trip to Lakeland Sunday, was left behind because he had a stiff back. Collins said it was nothing serious. Lagares said he is “fine.”

Shortstop Matt Reynolds is the latest victim of the flu that is going through the Mets’ clubhouse.

DOTS ALL

The Mets have teamed up with Marvel Entertainment to make a Noah Syndergaard Thor bobblehead. It will be given to the first 15,000 fans at the July 22 game against the A’s.
