Mets Pitcher Jordan Yamamoto Tells Fans to Stop Harassing His Wife on Twitter

The New York fans can be tough. New York Mets pitcher Jordan Yamamoto now knows what it’s like to be playing in the biggest market in Major League Baseball. It’s what Yamamoto signed up for when he decided to pursue a career as a professional baseball player. His wife, however, is a different story.

Yamamoto’s wife, Madison, posted Sunday that she received nasty tweets during the Mets game.

Wow, from love to now hate so fast Mets fans. As my phones blowing up with nasty tweets..I just want to remind you that we’re human. I am a WIFE, cheering on her husband. No matter the runs. Your passion for the game is great and all, but stay classy. 🤙🏼

Yamamoto put out a statement on Twitter on Monday telling Mets fans to stop harassing his wife on the site.

“I will address this once and once only. 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 and 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. My own 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. We preach love and compassion towards one another. So with all that being said, I truly appreciate the true fan base for sticking up for my wife when they seen those nasty tweets. So thank you! Also we are moving onward and upward! That game is in the past and it is time to move to today because we have a new series and a new day to get better and be better! Much Love #MetsTwitter”

The Mets have used Yamamoto in two games, though Sunday was his first start of the year. Through 6 2/3 innings, Yamamoto has a 6.75 ERA.

Harassing his wife probably won’t get him to pitch any better, but hey, you can’t blame Mets fans for trying. . .
