Mets prospect Noah Syndergaard -- one of several heavily touted pitchers in the organization -- made his season debut Sunday, working four scoreless innings for Class A St. Lucie against Jupiter (Miami). Syndergaard, who was part of the package that sent catcher Travis d’Arnaud to New York in exchange for R.A. Dickey, allowed three hits, walked one and struck out five.
At just 20 years old, the right-hander is not expected to rise to the majors until at least the 2014 season.
