Wow.
This has got to be one of the greatest pitching performances I've seen tonight 04/23/2021. Just absolutely dominant. The Nationals literally seemed like they just gave up trying to beat DeGrom after the 6th inning.
Career high strikeouts, 50 S/O in 29 IP in 4 starts.

Fifty strikeouts for Jacob deGrom over his first four starts of the season. That's a Major League record.
Fifty. What an insane number to comprehend. No wonder no one has ever done it before.
Complete game shutout with only 2 hits, no walks, and he batted 2 for 4 with 2 RBI.
His opponents batted 2-29.
Lowest career ERA surpassing Seaver.
Can we make the case in a few years by now that Jacob DeGrom is going to be HoF bound? I think it's highly likely that he's destined to go to Cooperstown.
The Mets may have gone through a lot of bullshit over the years, but my god, if you had told me that Jacob DeGrom would be the best pitcher in baseball 5-6 years ago, I'd tell you to shut the fuck up and stop trolling me.
