The New York Mets were dealt another blow last week with the news that one of their top starting pitchers, Noah Syndergaard, will miss all of 2020 and possibly some of the 2021 season following Tommy John Surgery.
Syndergaard has already had a rocky past two seasons mired with sub-par quality starts and a lack of pitch control around the strike zone. Last year, despite setting a career-high in innings pitched, the fireballer right-hander had his career-worst ERA and gave up by far the most runs and walks he has ever given up in a season in his career.
