“She Should Have Pitched Instead…”: Supermodel Kate Upton’s Heartfelt Move For Husband Justin Verlander Draws Mixed Emotions From New York Mets Fans

Justin Verlander’s Citi Field start didn’t go as planned. First the injury, and then an underwhelming debut against Detroit Tigers, until Justin Verlander reached Citi Field, to make his first start at the Mets home. With his support system Kate Upton in the bleachers, he would’ve hoped the outing went much better.

After splitting the series with the NL East fifth-placed Washington Nationals, and a rather embarrassing 10-3 loss, Justin Verlander was all set to make his Citi Field debut against the offense powerhouse, Tampa Bay Rays.

As Justin Verlander made his first Citi Field start, Kate Upton stood in the bleachers cheering

Model and actress Kate Upton was present at Verlander’s Citi Field debut, which didn’t go as planned. Verlander, who’s made nine All-Star appearances since his MLB debut in 2005, won two World Series rings, and three Cy Young awards, the most recent being in 2022, threw five innings, conceding six runs and eight hits with only three K’s.

Notably, Justin Verlander signed a two-year, $86.7 million contract with the Mets. That definitely added to the fan heat and frustration after the game, which definitely didn’t justify his whopping contract size.

Seemingly fans were furious, and this is how fans reacted:

The New York Mets ended up losing the game 8-5, and Verlander spoke about his poor performance after the game. He said, ?I was hoping that today I could be a catalyst and go out and have a great start against a good team and help us win, and I wasn?t able to do that.”

New York Mets’ disastrous 2023 start

Up until now, 2023 has been a disaster for the New York Mets. Presently, they stand third in the NL East, with 21 wins and 23 losses at 0.477, and with the amount of money they’re spending, the front office is starting to panic.
