MLB the show 25 - Yankees 🆚 mets (online rated) Highlights

Back now in the Bronx, and today's starting pitcher, number 26. What should we keep an eye on here? Well, there are going to be a lot of balls in play because of the ground ball rate, important at the defense state. This one swung on and hit well, way back there. Into Monument Park, amongst the legends. One down, base is empty. That's back, and they add on. Fastballs, especially away, are like putting a ball on a tee. Hitters do a lot of cage work. They're comfortable hitting off the tees, and he was comfortable right there hitting that ball opposite field for a home run. Hit one. Swing and a ball ripped right field, and that one back, and that one is gone. And they're on the scoreboard. It's 2-1. With number nine for him in this game. Nine. We head to the bottom of the fifth. Now it's going to be Austin Wells. He's a little late on that pitch, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to speed him up, not give him something off speed that he can handle. Swing and a high fly ball right field, that one back, that one, and it's gone. A solo shot. It's 4-1. Pitcher tried to intimidate with that fastball up and in, but he was ready for it. Pulled the trigger, and man, explosive through the zone right there. The launch angle, not where he needed it to be. Out to short. Oh, he globs it. The throw, nicely done to the out. Well, this is obviously a tremendous play, but for me, it starts with a well-broken-in glob. To have the confidence to go down, knowing that ball is going to be right in the pocket, so you've got a clean transfer. Ronnie Mauricio will hit next. Drilled in the air, high and deep right field. That's back there. Into the second deck and gone. Pissed that ball goodbye. He shoots one out to right, and they cut it to the lead. It's 4-2. The cutter up and in can be such a tough pitcher. Pete Alonzo, 0-3 with two ground outs and a strikeout. First pitch misses. Late on that fastball. I think he was sitting off speed there. They're down to their final strike. Just threw that fastball by an elevated, and if you're not looking up at that location, it's very difficult to catch up to, especially with that velocity. Tying run at the plate. Got it. And that is the ball game. Well, this has got a wild, sloppy game. Close finish, a lot of errors. Defense made this one really unpredictable, but they'll take the win. They'll try to clean things up defensively for the next one. And your final 4-2 for Chris Singleton and our entire crew. I'm John Schaumby saying so long.
