Johan Santana, former Mets pitcher, is currently a guest instructor for the Mets at Clover Park, sharing his expertise with players like Sean Manaea. Santana finds joy in mentoring, whether it's at the high school level or with professionals. Manaea, who idolized him as a child, is particularly grateful for the experience. Santana reflected on the honor of being Manaea's favorite player and highlighted the importance of helping rising players contribute to the team's success. Santana is remembered for his historic no-hitter in 2012, which marked a significant milestone in Mets history.
Here, they listen... There, they think they know.
It's cool when you have the greats like that [visit]; he's got great stuff and he's going to be a big part of this team.
I told him it was an honor, pretty cool - he's a great kid.
Santana's place in Mets lore was solidified when he threw the first no-hitter in franchise history on June 1, 2012.
