Cohen, 17, pitches at Mets camp as part of Make-A-Wish

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Joshua Cohen grimaced on the slope of the mound, watching with a critical eye as his changeup popped into catcher Jeff Glenn's mitt.

"What didn't you like about it?" Frank Viola asked.

The pitch hung too far up in the zone, Cohen bemoaned.

With the amount of movement he put on the ball, Viola assured him, the location was more than fine.

Cohen smiled, toeing the rubber to continue his bullpen session at the Mets' Spring Training complex. As Cohen worked in a Mets jersey with his name stitched across the back, Viola stood nearby, watching alongside several other Minor League pitching coaches.
