NEW YORK -- The Mets' Jeff McNeil was ejected from a game against Texas in the fourth inning Friday night after a called third strike from Jacob deGrom.
Back at Citi Field for the first time since leaving the Mets in December 2022, the two-time Cy Young Award winner threw a full-count fastball at the bottom of the strike zone.
McNeil threw his bat toward the Mets dugout, thinking it was ball four.
Plate umpire Scott Barry signaled a called strike, McNeil shouted and the Barry immediately tossed the second baseman.
