We all want a happy (and dominant) Thor so obviously this is a good thing to hear. During an interview with WOR’s Pete McCarthy, Syndergaard stated the following:
“That’s huge, because he really helped me last year with his veteran leadership and the amount of knowledge that he has.”
Obviously there has to be a great dynamic between a pitcher and a catcher. As fans, we want to know that our pitcher is comfortable with whoever is behind the plate. We want to hear that our catcher is working with our pitcher, trying to make him better, and that’s what Rivera is doing for Syndergaard.
