If it wasn’t already known Jacob deGrom ruled New York baseball now it’s official.

During 2021 the most popular player searched on Baseball-Reference in New York was the Mets ace.

DeGrom also appears to have a growing and devout fanbase in South Dakota where he was also the most popular player page.

But everybody has their own tastes to random players they Google stats for when they’re bored at work or when they can’t sleep. Alaska loves Christian Yelich. New Mexico loves Miguel Cabrera. Mississippi loves Adalberto Mondesi. Look at Tennessee throwing it all the way back to Shoeless Joe Jackson.

Maybe the Mets fan contingent in Connecticut isn’t as strong as once thought with Aaron Nola as their top searched player. It’s possible that’s why former Mets manager Bobby Valentine lost the mayoral race in Stamford.

As part of their 2021 Sportify Wrapped, Baseball-Reference released the list of the top-10 most searched players. Francisco Lindor was No. 9 on the list with deGrom at No. 7. Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and obviously Shohei Ohtani were third, second, and first, respectively. Barry Bonds at No. 10 was the only non-active player to broach the top 10.

The Mets team page was the second-most viewed in the NL East, behind the Braves. The Dodgers were the most-viewed NL team and the Yankees the top-viewed team overall.

The most-viewed page on a single day was January 22 when the baseball world collectively eulogized Hank Aaron after passing away at age 86.
