This looks really bad, but it doesn’t seem liked it helped very much.
Nonetheless, internet sleuths believe Noah Syndergaard may have been using pine tar or something sticky to get a grip on the baseball Monday night in Philadelphia.
A video circulated showing Noah Syndergaard digging his index and middle fingers into the heel of his glove before touching the ball during the Mets’ 7-6 win over the Phillies.
It was a difficult night for any pitcher as the temperature was around 50 degrees and dropping, which would make it very difficult to grip a baseball.
Only time will tell if Major League Baseball will look into this.
