A furious four-seamer, a wicked slider, and a devastating change-up. These are the main components that come together to form the repertoire of New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, they are the tools of his excellence. Through these distinct and overwhelming pitches, he is able to put his pure brilliance on display for all to see.
The recent recipient of a five-year contract extension is as determined as ever to erase any lingering doubts of his greatness. Last year was neither the result of luck nor the pinnacle of his career. He is not satisfied with a great season, not even a great career.
