New York Mets’ prospect David Peterson had a debut to remember: “One of the greatest days of my life”

While it wasn’t always a smooth ride, rookie left-hander David Peterson was impressive in his debut with the New York Mets last night. He managed to limit a very good Boston Red Sox lineup to just two runs in 5.2 frames, allowing seven hits and two bases on balls. He struck out three rivals.

He debuted at a difficult venue (Fenway Park) against a good lineup. And while he wasn’t stellar, Peterson, the New York Mets’ 2017 first round draft pick, handled himself with the poise of a veteran.

“That’s his first outing,” Rojas said.
