Phillies Pitcher Peak, Flyers Star Out of Shape, Mets Owner's Captain Stance

It's March 16th, here's your New York Met's news in two minutes, subscribe to stay locked

in all season.

Philly's fans have plenty to cheer about this spring training.

Their ace pitcher showed up throwing as hard as he did at his all-star peak last year

when he finished top 10 in Sai Young voting.

It's a huge boost for the team heading into the season.

Meanwhile, over in hockey, the fliers are dealing with a different story.

Our prospect, Matve Michkov, arrived out of shape and coach John Tortorella is holding

him back.

You simply cannot play someone into fitness at this level.

Experts agree across sports, pros must report ready to go.

Is their job under constant scrutiny and skipping on prep just doesn't fly in the big leagues?

Shifting to baseball front offices, Met's owner Steve Cohen dropped a firm stance this

week.

He says there will never be a team captain under his watch, letting the locker room pick

its leaders fresh each year.

That approach makes sense with how rosters turn over so fast, especially for a spender

like Cohen.

It keeps things flexible without locking in, one voice forever.
