The New York Mets‘ training camp at Citi Field is filled with competition. The latest intrasquad game, held on Thursday, wasn’t without some exciting moments involving some of the team’s brightest stars.
Jacob deGrom was supposed, and rightfully so, to be the highlight of the day until rehabbing slugger Yoenis Cespedes stole the show with a huge two-run home run off star late-inning reliever Seth Lugo.

According to Anthony DiComo, Céspedes turned around without running the bases and walked casually back to the dugout after hitting the moonshot.
