PG’s Jared Young is staying in the Big Apple.
The 30-year-old cracked the Opening Day roster for the New York Mets.
Young is among seven infielders who made the cut.
He recently suited up for Canada at the World Baseball Classic.
Last season, Young recorded four home runs and six RBI’s while posting a .186 batting average in 23 games for the Mets.
In Triple-A, the local product lit it up for Syracuse leading the way with 17 home runs and 50 RBI’s along with a .300 average. Young’s power at the plate also resulted in 14 doubles.
New York begins its season tomorrow (Thursday) when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates.
