Thanks to the friendly Colorado hitting climate and a terrific start by Jacob deGrom, the Mets were able to defeat the Colorado Rockies 12-2. It was in the first at bat in the series that the tone would be set for this game. On a 0-2 count, Brandon Nimmo laced a ball into the outfield, [...]
Welcome to short season baseball! The Mets now have Las Vegas, Binghamton, St. Lucie, Columbia, Brooklyn, Kingsport, the Gulf Coast and their Dominican Summer Leagues entering action and we are starting to see some of the Met prospects move up the ladder.
