For the better part of 2017, all Noah Syndergaard could do was sit and watch. Sidelined by a torn lat muscle suffered in a start in late April, the Mets’ imposing righty ended up missing all but the last week of the season, as his team slumped to 92 losses and a fourth-place finish in the NL East without him. But after an offseason of rehab and training, Syndergaard and his 100-mph fastball are once again lighting up Queens, as he hopes to lead New York back to postseason contention. Off to a good start after a strong Opening Day performance against the Cardinals in which he struck out 10 hitters in six innings, Syndergaard sat down with SI to talk about getting back on the mound, new Mets manager Mickey Callaway, what TV show he most wants to guest star on, and his prediction for the final season of Game of Thrones (spoiler: nobody gets out alive).
