New York Mets spring training battle: Yoenis Cespedes vs. Jacob deGrom (Video)

The New York Mets are having fun this spring training. Whether it’s shirtless Syndergaard, J.D. Davis pitching, or even friendly competitions, there is good energy in Port St. Lucie. Jacob deGrom and Yoenis Cespedes took that up a notch Thursday.

The two stars decided to have a friendly competition at the facility on Thursday. The two would face each other in a number of plate appearances, a great sight for Mets fans worried about Cespedes’ health.

The at-bat seemed to go in favor of deGrom. Cespedes rolled the ball over to third base in what likely would have been an easy groundout.
