  • Mets 2023 Projections: Justin Verlander

    Recently, we did a 2023 Projection for infielder Jeff McNeil and as usual, it was a ton of fun. So let’s continue, however, this time we’ll move on to a pitcher. I figure that it won’t hurt to alternate weekly with a position player, then a pitcher. This week, we’ll take a gander at the…

    Conforto took Verlander deep on a 1-1 fastball that leaked over the middle of the plate and put it over the right field wall. It’s the Mets first hit of the game as Conforto continues his hot streak during the spring. Verlander did not allow a hit against the Mets in last weeks exhibition game.…
