Noah Syndergaard Becomes Mets Youngest Pitcher For All-Star Selection Since 1988

Noah Syndergaard will be the youngest Mets pitcher selected to the All-Star game since Dwight Gooden in 1988.  Gooden was 23 years old, and it was his fourth (and final) selection as an All-Star.

In 1986 Gooden was 21 years old and became the youngest starting pitcher in an All-Star game.

According to espn.go.com, Syndergaard was training and hoping for an All-Star appearance in the off-season.  “I watched Jacob [deGrom] compete in it last year and I saw how tremendous he did and I wanted a piece of the action,” Syndergaard said.  He doesn’t have an overwhelming sense of pride after reaching this milestone at such a young age, he said.  However, in only his second year in the Major Leagues it would seem to be quite the accomplishment.
