Because of the COVID-19 pandemic currently affecting the United States and the world, Major League Baseball decided to suspend its operations indefinitely, including the rest of spring training and regular season games. While the players’ association and the league are currently discussing plans to eventually return and play this year, it isn’t a given. The New York Mets are, therefore, waiting.

The team, however, prefers to encourage players to keep themselves in shape at home, however they can, in case baseball returns soon. That’s why the Mets’ pitching coach Jeremy Hefner continually checks on his pitchers via Zoom.
