Photo of the Day: Don't worry, even Noah Syndergaard went through an awkward phase

With a fastball that can brand a catcher's chest and some flowing blonde hair, you might assume that Noah Syndergaard descended directly from Asgaard as a batter-destroying, Manhattan-conquering flamethrower. But take heart: As the Mets broadcast revealed during Thor's start against the Rockies on Sunday, even Norse gods go through an awkward phase -- an awkward phase that apparently includes glasses and some, uh, decidedly non-flowing blonde hair.

Look on the bright side: When you're an All-Star striking out more than a batter an inning, how awkward can things be?
