A veteran baseball pitcher has tragically died from a heart attack at the age of 31.

Matt Pobereyko, a former minor league pitcher in the New York Mets organization, died over the weekend.

"Former Mets minor league pitcher Matt Pobereyko passed away at the age of 31 due to a heart attack. He had pitched in the Mexican League and Dominican Winter League this offseason," Hector Gomez tweeted.

Our thoughts are with Matt's friends and family members during this difficult time.

"We mourn the loss of Matt Pobereyko. A great baseball player and an even better person. RIP Pobo," one of his former teams tweeted out.

Rest in peace, Matt.
