In the history of the game, there have only been 10 pitchers to win consecutive Cy Young Awards. Based on his numbers this season, Jacob deGrom could become the 11th pitcher to accomplish that feat.
New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway, believes that deGrom has positioned himself in a very favorable spot to carve his name in the record books once again.
“[DeGrom] has put himself in the driver’s seat and very well ahead of the others, with so few games left or so few starts left for the guys going against him,” Callaway said Monday, via Mike Puma of the New York Post.
