Noah Syndergaard seeks MLB comeback after three years away
Summary

Noah Syndergaard, the former star pitcher for the New York Mets, aims for a return to Major League Baseball after not appearing in a game for three years. In a recent interview, the 33-year-old discussed his ongoing struggles with the mental challenges of pitching, specifically a case of the yips that interrupted his delivery. Despite visits to pitching facilities to regain his velocity, he has yet to find success, following a disappointing final MLB season in which he posted a 6.50 ERA. Syndergaard's decline has been steep since signing a one-year, $21 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in 2019, and he now searches for direction beyond his playing days.
