Noah Seth Syndergaard (born August 29, 1992) is a minor league baseball pitcher in the New York Mets organization. Syndergaard is considered one of the top 100 prospects in baseball.[1][2]
Career
Syndergaard attended Mansfield Legacy High School in Mansfield, Texas. The Toronto Blue Jays selected Syndergaard in the first round (38th overall) of the 2010 MLB Draft. Before the 2012 season, MLB.com rated him as the 95th best prospect in baseball.[3]
On December 17, 2012, the Blue Jays traded Syndergaard, Travis d'Arnaud, John Buck, and Wuilmer Becerra to the New York Mets for R.A. Dickey, Josh Thole, and Mike Nickeas.[4] Syndergaard began the 2013 season with the St. Lucie Mets of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League (FSL), and was named a FSL all-star.[5] He was promoted to the Binghamton Mets of the Class AA Eastern League in late June.[6] He was selected for the 2013 All-Star Futures Game.[7]
In 2014, Syndergaard pitched for the Las Vegas 51s of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, where he had a 9-7 win-loss record, a 4.60 earned run average, and 145 strikeouts, which led the league. The Mets decided not to promote Syndergaard to the major leagues as part of their September call-ups.[8]
Pitching style
PITCHf/x data from the All-Star Futures Game showed him throwing a four-seam fastball at about 95 mph and a curveball at about 80 mph.[9] He also throws a two-seam fastball and a circle changeup.[10]
Personal life
Due to his strength he acquired the nickname Thor.[11]
