You’re looking at the official 2015 All Star Game portrait of Jacob deGrom which he just posted to Instagram.
Jacob deGrom has been brilliant for the Mets this season, posting a 9-6 record with a 2.14 ERA that ranks fourth best in the National League. In his last seven starts, dating back to June 1, he has a 1.42 ERA with 49 strikeouts in 50.2 innings.
Today’s back page on Newsday. I love this. Asked about how he felt about his first All Star Game, deGrom said it validated his hard work trying to prove last year’s numbers were legit.
“I wanted to prove that it wasn’t luck,” deGrom said, speaking with reporters. “Everybody says your second year’s your toughest year.”
We want to wish Jacob the best of luck tonight, and hopefully he gets that chance to pitch against Mike Trout as he hopes… And then strikes him out. 🙂
