New Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman’s secret life as a rapper
He’s just arrived from Toronto, but it’s already a rap for Marcus Stroman.
The Mets’ new pitcher, 28, has a secret life as an aspiring hip-hop artist. He’s co-starred in a video for and dropped lyrics on songs by his former Duke teammate, rapper Mike Seander, who has performed as Mike Stud and now just goes by Mike.
“It’s clean, positive and aligned with his brand,” Seander, 30, told The Post of the pro athlete’s hip-hop side hustle. “Marcus always wanted to be a musician.”
Stroman, who is 5-foot-8, has even joined Seander on tour, rapping onstage in cities including Toronto and Tampa about being undersized and captivating a game-day crowd.
