Noah Syndergaard tossed five innings of one-run ball for the New York Mets organization on Sunday evening, but his biggest impact was not on the mound. Rather, the 25-year-old right-hander made waves just by pitching in the Borough of Trees.
Syndergaard’s presence was felt by fans, players and staff, all of whom flocked to the ballpark to watch the star major leaguer make a rehab start in Class A Short Season. Syndergaard didn’t disappoint. In five innings, he allowed just two hits and one run, an impressive stat line given that he hadn’t pitched in an organized game since the end of May.
