(CBSNewYork)- Mets ace Jacob deGrom made a rehab start on Thursday night for the team’s Low-A affiliate, the Port St. Lucie Mets against the Palm Beach Cardinals. As you’d probably expect from a pitcher of deGrom’s caliber, the opposing hitters couldn’t really touch him as he struck out eight across three innings allowing no hits or walks in just 41 pitches.
The players in Low-A are often just starting their career so it’s not surprising that deGrom was overpowering. The Cardinals’ social media team had some fun with it though taking to Twitter asking for help.
