Jacob deGrom most Ks in first 200 games

[G1911]

Johan - 2,025 IP
DeGrom - 1,325 IP

DeGrom is about to turn 35 and needs 700 innings to catch Johan, whose career was considered too short by the vast majority. That’s how brief DeGrom’s career is. He has never been close to the Hall.

As others have mentioned Lincecum is a good comparison, 3 years of lights out ball and gone.

For DeGrom it is the same spike of greatness but a slow burning end with lots of ashes along the way with the occassional flame

He’s like that old Cubs pitcher in Rookie of the Year. You have to wait till he’s got it back in him for one more game.

Some how I missed this. From over a month ago

Sad news for Degrom.

He had surgery and is out until approx August 2024

Another 2 full seasons (this and next) wiped off the board

Rangers got Degrom and now he wins a worlds series..exactly what they paid for


he and Scherzer 20 years from now will be signing autos at the National for the 2023 championship and kids will wonder how the rangers could lose any games that year with 2 stud pitchers like that plus all the other ones..
