The ghost of Nohan will bring a no hitter

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he 2017 season will bring what fans almost experienced for a second time last season.

That’s right – someone on the Mets will toss a no hitter.

When Johan Santana pitched the franchise’s first no hitter back on June 1, 2012, it was arguably the best thing since the 1986 World Series win. Mets fans will get to relieve that experience, except it will come from one the Big Four.

Matz proved to fans last year he is more than capable of pitching a no hitter when he took one into the eighth inning, recording one out before all dreams were crushed by a hit up the first base line.

Even deGrom was close to immortality when he allowed just one hit to the Philadelphia Phillies, with that lone hit coming from the opposing pitcher.

Whether it comes from one of those two arms – or even Syndergaard or Harvey, who have the talent to do so – fans will relive the excitement of a no hitter this season.
