The one they call "Thor" is still hoping to get back on a big-league mound at some point.

Former New York Mets right-handed starter Noah Syndergaard is ramping up in preparation of a potential MLB comeback in the future. Syndergaard has been throwing and working out at Kova Sports baseball training center in Alvarado, Texas.

However, injuries derailed what started off as a promising career and Tommy John surgery caused Thor to miss the entire 2020 Covid-shortened season as well as all but two innings at the end of the 2021 campaign.

Syndergaard won't turn 33 until August. If he can get back to a similar version of his old hard-throwing, high-velocity self, the hurler could help a number of teams. Syndergaard threw in front of teams last year but did not sign with a club.

Although the word is that he still has a bit of a ways to go before he can throw in front of scouts, Syndergaard appears to be making progress towards a potential MLB return in the future.
