The last Mets pitcher to win the Cy Young Award says he is pulling hard for Jacob deGrom to receive the honor this season.
“I can’t be objective,” R.A. Dickey told The Post on Tuesday. “I want him to win it and I want it for the Mets. I want it for the fan base. I want it for him. He’s been consistently good for a long time. I am pulling for him, there is no question.”
DeGrom took the mound against the Marlins at Citi Field on Tuesday night with a major-league best 1.68 ERA, with 25 straight starts in which he had limited opponents to three runs or fewer, which tied a major league record in one season.
