Whose autograph is this?

Hello all!
I was going through my in-person autographed OMLB from 2011-2012 Mets spring training in Port Saint Lucie, where 99% of the time, I only get Mets' autographs. That said, I came across one that I apparently didn't label and cannot ID...Any idea whose autograph this is?

That looks like a rushed Justin Turner.

Thanks!
Hmm...? Not sure! JT doesn't seem to cross that first letter on the bottom or have the accent, at the end of the signature, like mine, also JT almost always seems to put his number, which would've been "2", back then under his sig.

Here are the three players I consider candidates.

Josh Stinson

Lucas Duda

Justin Turner. Turner's autograph has changed a lot over time and he is prone to rushed signatures. Which is why I still suspect it's his.

Here are examples of the three. The Turner photo has three examples. 1. Your mystery ball. 2. A typical Tuner from his time with the Mets. 3. The signature my son got at a public signing earlier this year.

I still think it's a messy Turner. But it's a guess.

Thanks for the pics! Hmm? Still not sure but I can definitely rule out Duda because I know I didn't get him. I'll have to double check my collection to locate labelled Turner and/or Stinson. FWIW, others have suggested Jordany Valdespin.

I hope you figure it out. A year ago I had a sloppy autographed ball that either me or my son had signed. I knew it was likely a Dodger but couldn't figure out who it was. Eventually, I figured out it was a very messy Scott Van Slyke. But the S looked like a J and the rest looked like scribble.

Thanks!

Believe me, I get it...I originally found 7 autographed baseballs from Port Saint Lucie 2011-12, which I couldn't ID but eventually figured out all of them, except this one.
