Mets: Was Noah Syndergaard’s off-season regimen too strong?

Look, I’m not a doctor, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night. But I wonder if maybe Syndergaard’s off-season decision to bulk up and increase strength has any correlation to his present injury.

Or should I say injuries?

He had one start scratched due to soreness in his bicep, and is now out with a partially torn right lat muscle.

Pardon my lack of expert knowledge, but that sounds like someone whom paid little attention during the off-season to his legs and core development, and wound up overthrowing with his upper body once the season started.
