Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is looking forward to his next start Wednesday at San Francisco. He's set to face the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2009 draft (sixth overall) before trading him to New York in the summer of 2011 for outfielder Carlos Beltran.
"I mean, it’s not going to pump me up any more or anything like that," Wheeler said, per the New York Daily News. "But, yeah, it’s in the back of my head."
Wheeler smiled when asked if there was a chance to show the team that traded him what it missed.
"Possibly," Wheeler said. "It would be nice to have a good outing there, let’s put it that way."
