Noah Syndergaard continued his whirlwind tour of New York City with a stop on the set of NBC’s Saturday Night Live. He posted a photo of himself with the historic and familiar SNL backdrop on Instagram.
Syndergaard, 23, is having the time of his life taking in all the great sights and happenings the city has to offer. Last week he was spotted at the New York Rangers game at the Garden, and a couple of days later he was back at MSG to watch LeBron James take on the Knicks.
He also took in an Islanders game this week at the Barclays Center, and of course he had himself some great seats to see the Giants vs Patriots where he also took a great picture of himself sprawled out in the Giants end zone. I mean how freaking cool is this guy? 🙂
As we passed along last Thursday, our young flame-thrower hopes to be a Met for life and it’s quite obvious he really means it. Lock him up, Sandy…
Seriously speaking, I get goosebumps thinking about how good Syndergaard is going to be. I actually have a bet with my cousin that Thor will be the next pitcher to toss a no-hitter. He thinks it will be Matt Harvey, but let’s face it – all four of our young guns could do it.
I was checking out Syndergaard’s Steamer projections the other day and they have him down for a 3.09 ERA and 1.100 WHIP with 193 strikeouts in 176 innings pitched next season.
And as incredible as those numbers sound, I personally think they are being way too conservative. I feel a huge breakout season coming in 2016 for this exciting young man. This kid has it all… He’s got the stuff, he’s got the command, he’s got the swagger, and he’s got the perfect personality that’s as big and bright as the city he plays for. I love this guy…
