New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom has reported to spring training and got a chance to speak to the media for the first time. deGrom spoke about how he felt now that he is a two-time, back-to-back Cy Young Award winner.
He said it was especially meaningful to him because pitching legend and three-time Cy Young winner Pedro Martinez is the one who handed him the award. He did say that even though he’s constantly preparing for what’s next, he’s “definitely more aware of kinda what’s going on,” via SNY.
deGrom has clearly begun to recognize the success he has achieved and the history he is making every time he steps foot on the mound.
