Mets rookie RHPNoah Syndergaard will become the third-youngest Mets player, next to Dwight Gooden and Gary Gentry, to start a World Series game when he tries to get the Mets out of an 0-2 hole in Game 3 on Friday at Citi Field.
“The amount of confidence that I’ve gained throughout this entire season and the journey has been an unbelievable experience,” said Syndergaard, who made his MLB debut in mid-May.
Terry Collins toyed with the idea of having him start Game 1 of the World Series. Instead, the 23-year-old rookie is charged with the task of getting the Mets back into the series.
