PITTSBURGH — Little things mean a lot in pitching.
That’s the word from Mets pitching coach Phil Regan. One key adjustment that has helped starters Noah Syndergaard and Zack Wheeler do better has been to close off their front foot, so their arm stays more in line with home plate and they don’t fly open.
“I have a tendency to fly open,’’ Wheeler told The Post on Friday night before the Mets and Steven Matz ran out of pitching luck and took it on the chin, losing 8-4 to the Pirates at PNC Park to end their seven-game winning streak.
