Steven Matz’s debut with Mets will be “a dream come true”
Steven Matz, who will make his major league debut for the Mets on Sunday, loosens up before Saturday's suspended game against the Reds at Citi Field.For a kid who grew up on Long Island surrounded by fellow Mets fans, Steven Matz couldn’t help but hear the buzz from friends and family that he was about to get called up by the team he dreamed of playing for.
On Saturday, he drove from his family’s Stony Brook home to Citi Field, Matz’s first day as a Met. One day later, his dream will become reality when the highly-touted 24-year-old lefthander makes his first major league start.
