Mets ace Jacob deGrom has been the recipient of some tough-luck losses this season, failing to get run support or defensive help from his teammates.
deGrom has been pitching at a near-Cy Young level, and yet somehow, he’s only 8-8 on the season, which is just brutal, for as well as he’s pitched. He has 1.71 ERA, and a .097 WHIP, with a 7.5 WAR, and 214 strikeouts.
And while he’s not known to be a flamethrower, deGrom can dial it back and throw gas. He hit 100 mph for the first time in his career on Tuesday night — blowing a pitch by Javier Baez, who clearly wasn’t expecting it.
