Syndergaard feels great as Mets hire Director of High Performance

Noah Syndergaard is feeling better than he's ever felt before, he recently told MLB.com's David Adler.

"The offseason's been a lot of fun, it's gone by quick, but I got some quality work in and I'm ready to hit the ground running in the 2018 season," Syndergaard added.

Syndergaard missed nearly five months in 2017 after suffering a partially torn lat muscle. He returned to make two starts at the end of the season. He reported gaining 17 pounds of muscle between 2016 and 2017 with hopes of building more strength and increasing velocity on his fastball.
