4 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom struck out a season-high ten over six innings in the Mets 7-2 win over the Braves on Monday. deGrom (1-0) allowed five hits, two earned runs, and one walk in his six innings of work. deGrom now boasts a 2.12 ERA, a 0.71 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 17 innings pitched on the season. deGrom threw 104 pitches in Monday's win, evidencing the fact that he is well past the back tightness issue he experienced during camp. With no pitch count restrictions to worry about, deGrom is a safe bet for owners looking for strikeouts and potential league-leading ratios. deGrom will next face the Marlins on Sunday in an excellent matchup.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
