Pitcher Jordan Yamamoto Goes Off On Mets Fans Harassing His Wife On Social Media

Pitcher Jordan Yamamoto has appeared in a whopping two games for the New York Mets this season. One time on May 5th, and again this past Sunday, May 23rd. In 6-2/3 innings pitched, Yamamoto has a record of 1-1 with an ERA of 6.75. And he’s already got Mets fans harassing his wife on social media over his performance on the mound.

The 25-year-old Yamamoto, who came over to the Mets after two seasons in Miami where he pitched a total of 90 innings in the Majors, made the mistake of giving up 5 runs (4 earned) in 4 innings on Sunday in New York’s 5-1 loss to the Marlins.

That was all it took for some Mets fans to seek out his wife Madison on social media and begin harassing her.

Yamamoto, also suffered a shoulder injury during the game, understandably did not take too kindly to that and wrote a scathing tweet to #MetsTwitter addressing the situation.

“I will address this once and once only,” wrote the Hawaiian-born pitcher.

“I know Twitter is sometimes not a very nice place and to some of you it may seem fun to troll people. But you don’t go an harass my WIFE! She isn’t the one playing the game nor wearing the uniform!

“If you should be trolling any one, it should be me. Tag me and comment on my posts, it is my fault and my fault alone. I gave up those 5 runs,” he continued. “My errors and lack of focus got away from me that inning. So don’t go and harass her!

“Because I understand as a professional athlete, that comes with the territory. But our family and spouses did not sign up for that. They don’t deserve that! No one deserves that.”

Jordan Yamamoto’s wife Madison had booked a flight the day before to see him pitch after he was recalled from Triple A Syracuse after the team designated outfielder Jake Hager for assignment.
