The New York Mets have hit a rough patch of late, one that led to a scathing tweet from the team’s owner, Steve Cohen, which probably isn’t going to help matters.
But let’s forget about all of that and focus on a play last night by Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman that was a thing of absolute beauty.
The two-time Gold Glove winner made a backhanded play on the third base side of the mound and then pulled off an incredible jump throw to first that beat San Francisco’s Brandon Belt to the bag for a wild out.
