Major League Baseball is nearing its middle of the season with every passing second. Almost every team in the big league has played somewhat around fifty games. While some teams are showing their immense talents and taking the top spot of their division, others are struggling in their divisions. Meanwhile, there are athletes who not only are helping their team win but also winning the hearts of their fans. One such athlete would be the $75 million worth New York Mets ace Kodai Senga.

The Mets are in the middle of a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. And last night, they won the series by winning the second game in a row. However, the highlight of the game came hours after the game ended. With his moving gesture, Senga had won the heart of a Japanese-born pro golfer. As he did so, he left the golfer delighted.

What did the New York Mets ace do for the pro golfer?

The official Instagram handle of the golf’s PGA tour posted a picture of pro golfer Nasa Hataoka with Kodai Senga by her side. In the picture, Senga can be seen giving Nasa a customized Mets jersey with her name on the back and number 23 studded on the back.

As the PGA tour’s Instagram handle posted the picture on their story, they tagged the Mets ace and Nasa Hataoka. The pro golfer then reposted the story on her Instagram with the caption, “Thank you @kodai_senga_ (with a smiley emoticon on the side).”

Later on, the Mets ace also reposted that same story on his Instagram handle. It seems like after having won countless accolades to his name in Nippon Professional Baseball, Senga has already started to win hearts in the first year of Major League Baseball. 

How is the Mets ace doing this season so far?

As of today, Senga, with number 34 on his back, has played and started ten games of the season. With a record of 5-3 and a 3.44 ERA, Senga has struck out 70 batters and walked 31. 

From the looks of it, Senga is having one solid season in his first year in Major League Baseball. Looking at his statistics, one can easily say that he’s proving to be a valuable asset for the Mets.
