Noah Syndergaard Ready To Be Dominant Again?
2 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-hander Noah Syndergaard thinks he can get back to being a dominant starter again in 2023 in his first season in LA. The 30-year-old was very average with the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies last year in just a year removed from Tommy John surgery. "My recovery game is second to none, my work ethic, my attention to detail and my passion for the craft and the process," Syndergaard said. "So it doesn't make a whole lot of sense how I can regress as a final product coming back from this rehab." Thor got up to 96 mph during a live session on Thursday and said he's only "a couple percentage points" from being ready. He feels much better another year removed from elbow surgery, and an increase in velocity could help him bounce back. The biggest difference in 2022 was his drop in strikeout rate, so if he can rediscover his pre-injury dominance, fantasy managers could score excellent value from Syndergaard.
