Mets’ Marcus Stroman sounds off on just about everything
New Mets hurler and Long Island native Marcus Stroman talks about his love of New York, what it is like being an undersized pitcher and his mental approach to the game in a Q&A session with Post columnist Steve Serby.
Q: How would you describe your mound mentality?
A: I’m in my own world out there … savage. … I kind of flip that switch once I cross the line and I go to a dark place that’s kind of where all the hate, the doubt, everything just kind of erupts when I get to perform.
Q: What do you mean by the hate?
A: Just whatever adversity I faced in the past, that’s what fuels kind of the motivation that I’ve had on the mound. I just let it all come out and whatever happens, happens.
