New York Mets: Jacob deGrom takes step in right direction

Things are looking up for Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets. After battling back stiffness earlier this Spring, deGrom took a major step in the right direction today. With pitching coach Dave Eiland watching, the right-hander tossed 30 pitches in a simulated game and looked every bit as advertised. Both deGrom and Eiland were extremely encouraged by his dominance and progress.

The simulated affair drew quite the crowd, including former skipper Terry Collins.
