Port St. Lucie (CBS12 News) — Spring is in the air, and that means baseball is back. The New York Mets are back home at Clover Park as pitchers and catchers report for spring training, ready to kick off another season in sunny Port St. Lucie.
Young star and NL Rookie of the Year favorite Nolan McLean welcomed his new teammate, ace pitcher Freddy Peralta, to the fold. Peralta, who figures to headline the Mets’ rotation this season, is excited to begin this new chapter after his move from Milwaukee to Queens.
Among the pitchers reporting was Kodai Senga, aiming to return to All-Star form and keep batters guessing with his signature ghost forkball. Clay Holmes, Senga, Peralta, and McLean are expected to be mainstays in the rotation, with talented young arms like Christian Scott pushing to earn their spot.
With the fields freshly raked and bags packed, the Mets are preparing for a season of excitement, growth, and big performances under the Florida sun. Fans in Port St. Lucie and beyond are ready for spring baseball to take center stage.
