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.

The man is a stellar talent. I got to see him pitch against Kershaw a few years ago and I paid literally 2 dollars a ticket (before fees, so maybe 8-10 dollars after) that I bought on my phone in the parking lot at Dodgers Stadium lol. He may have had his long hair back then.

It's a shame he's on the LOLMETS. Imagine how much he could help a team that had an offense.

If only the bats would back him up...

Jacob deGrom is God's gift to baseball.



These overlays that PitchingNinja posts never cease to amaze me. This is one he posted with his fastball, change, and slider. All 3 are 90+, all 3 swinging strikes.

Great question, right now I'll take Kershaw but I'm admittedly super biased and even considering that it's not by much.



EDIT -- DeGrom has a loss this year? God damn the Mets suck. Just looked back at his Cy Young season and his W/L is so bad considering those numbers.

So tough man... I honestly don't know, personally I like DeGrom in the playoffs, So I'd go with him. (Not biased at all.) But he did have a clunker in the WS although partly was to blame for our shit defense.

Still that 2015 Kershaw vs DeGrom matchup in the NLCS was money.

There's a reason why the argument for DeGrom winning Cy Young despite his W/L record was such a dumb argument at the time.
