Nick Morabito made his MLB debut with the New York Mets on Tuesday, starting in left field against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.
Morabito, a 2022 second-round pick, grew up in McLean, Virginia, and often attended games at the ballpark while commuting to Gonzaga College High School. He described the experience as surreal, noting that he used to collect Nationals bobbleheads and idolized players like Bryce Harper and Juan Soto, with whom he now shares a clubhouse.
