Over the past few years, Jonah Tong would sometimes huddle around a screen in his basement in Markham, Ont., with his dad, Alex, to study video of New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom.
Together they would dissect the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner’s mechanics.
So, it’s hard for Tong to believe that he’s now toeing the rubber in the same organization as deGrom.
“He was one of my favourite pitchers growing up,” said Tong in a recent phone interview. “It’s kind of surreal knowing that I’m where he used to be.”
Where Tong is right now is at the Mets’ development complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., after being selected by them in the seventh round of the 2022 MLB draft. The 19-year-old right-hander has not yet met deGrom.
“I’m making that one of my goals in spring training,” said Tong with a chuckle.
