7 years agoThe lower back stiffness limiting New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was never considered serious, and deGrom sounds as if he’ll be ready to go moving forward. After throwing 37 pitches on Thursday, deGrom felt “wonderful” and is ready to go moving forward. As of now, deGrom is slated to make his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday. While deGrom’s status for Opening Day remains up in the air, that doesn’t really matter for much. He sounds like he’ll be good to go at some point during the first turn through the rotation, and definitely by the second time through. deGrom should once again return a top-10 finish at the starting pitcher position.--John Smith
