Thrilling conclusion: Brandon Nimmo the HERO.

The Yankees had built a 6-3 lead earlier in the game, with notable contributions from prospects Spencer Jones and Jordany Ventura. Jones showcased his potential with a solo home run in the fifth inning, while Ventura added to the tally with a two-run double in the seventh.

The Mets’ offense was bolstered by home runs from Brett Baty and Pete Alonso, setting the stage for Nimmo’s ninth-inning heroics. With two runners on base and no outs, Nimmo faced an 80.2 mph curveball from Ventura. He connected with a 100.5 mph exit velocity, launching the ball 383 feet over the right-field fence, tying the game at 6-6.

This clutch performance underscores Nimmo’s readiness for the regular season and highlights the Mets’ resilience as they prepare for Opening Day. The tie against their cross-town rivals provides momentum and confidence as they head into the competitive season ahead.
