And Syndergaard is just fine with putting himself out there to make it happen, which includes showing up in the background (and possibly dying) of one of the most-watched shows on TV.
Syndergaard has an active social media presence, and he’s got a similar over-arching plan to that of fellow MLBer Bryce Harper (of the Washington Nationals), who started the “Make Baseball Fun Again” campaign to draw the kind of rabid and widespread attention that baseball used to get, as well as what other sports now achieve.
Noah Syndergaard, who goes by the nickname Thor, debuted his killer pitching arm for the New York Mets back in 2015, and he rather quickly attained a reputation for being someone to watch, both on the field and off.
