James McCann, the lone constant of the battery that produced the second no-hitter in Mets history, has asked for home plate that was used at Citi Field during Friday night’s memorable performances.
Per ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Mets catcher also received home plate from his previous, and his first, no-hitter from behind the plate, when he was with the White Sox and caught Lucas Giolito’s no-hitter in 2020.
McCann successfully navigated the Mets first no-hitter since Johan Santana in 2012 by catching starter Tylor Megill and relievers Drew Smith, Seth Lugo, Joely Rodriguez, and Edwin Diaz, the latter who struck out the side in the ninth to clinch the historic evening in Queens.
