We’ve argued about the Mets ace’s outcome endlessly both on social media and in in-person debates, but a new piece from NorthJersey.com’s Bob Klapisch may have swayed me from one side of the argument to the other.
For his column (which you should definitely check out here) Klapisch talks to Tom House, a former pitcher and now motion analysis expert who runs the National Pitching Association in Southern California, about Noah Syndergaard’s wear and tear this season and the fact that he pretty much predicted something like this would happen.
House notes that the fact that Syndergaard added muscle weight in the offseason without throwing would cause an eventual breakdown, but took “no pleasure in knowing [he] was right” when the Mets fireballing righty went down.
