Last season, New York Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard didn’t exactly maximize his talents to full potential. The veteran pitcher finished with a 10-8 record, a 4.28 ERA, and a 1.234 WHIP. This led to speculation he would be traded this offseason, much like the rumors that arose around last July’s trade deadline.
But what makes Thor valuable is his overall presence on this current Mets rotation, despite it being one that includes two Cy Young Award winners. Yes, there are advantages and disadvantages to employing Syndergaard. Nonetheless, both sides contribute to why he’s a prolific pitcher in this league.
