I completely understand and don't blame him for being so upset about being hurt all the time. Just imagine how incredible he is but can't stay healthy. God bless buddy. We're rooting for you
People forget that Cy Young had over 300 losses. There have been many teams in the past that had the best pitcher playing on a poor team. They deserve recognition.
Even when it was normal for a pitcher to pitch a full game, every game, crediting the pitcher for the win or loss didn't really make sense. Now it's pure stupidity, and I personally give exactly zero fucks about a pitcher's win/loss record.
Idc what anyone says, 2021 Jacob deGrom is the greatest pitcher in MLB history. He literally perfected his mechanics so well that a human body cannot sustain moving like that
His mechanics might have gotten him injured bc too many pitchers are throwing gung ho and defying physics with airbenders as opposed to taking something off
Baltimore native here. How can someone say wins matter? With no run support. He only had a +3 era his entire career! Wild. Sub 2 era a few other seasons. That’s crazy
I've been saying it since he started getting knicked up. He needs to ease up on the velo. We know he has 102 in the tank but why not sit 96 and run 102 up there in a pinch
Yeah even 98 would be fine, save anything higher than that for the playoffs. If he comes back hitting 102 he's just kind of dumb, same with Ohtani hitting 100+.
@bobbygetsbanned6049 no...98 is too hard to throw. He needs to stay at 92 max and change speeds. His delivery is smooth just needs to take alot of the fast ball and use more breaking balls.
Thank you for the video. It's rare these days to see any vids that justify any player's greatness without having to discredit other players. This vid is beautiful and deGrom deserves every bit of it.
21:32 "Gerrit Cole is the only active player with a prayer at 200 wins"... you mean besides the guys already significantly over? Verlander is at 260, Scherzer and Kersh past 200 as well.
My good sir, thank you for making this video. This legend needs to be remembered for the unfathomable dominant force he was, and hopefully can still be. He's deGoat and always will be. The best baseball player I've ever seen with my own two eyes, and this video summed it all up perfectly
My dad got to watch Nolan Ryan, and Tom Seaver growing up. I got to watch Jacob DeGrom. He is the best pitcher I have ever watched in my life. I remember the stretch where he was Pitching like maniac and being legit the only hitter on the mets to score runs.
I remember that game against the nationals vividly as a nationals fan. We still had Soto turner etc and he literally made them look like a minor league team. Hats off.
It hurts that he still isn’t on the Mets. Every start was must watch TV and I know ill never see someone as dominant pitch for them in my life. I just hope he can stay healthy and become the HoF pitcher he is.
Very great video as always, but as a quick aside, the reason that Aaron Nola had a higher bWAR than deGrom in 2018 was because of the Phillies’s defense. bWAR takes into account a team’s defense when calculating a pitcher’s value. The 2018 Phillies were one of the worst defenses in MLB history as measured by DRS. Now the Mets also had a poor defense that season, but Philadelphia’s was war crime levels of terrible. bWAR credits a pitcher for having a bad defense, while also counting against said pitcher if they have a good defense. I’m not arguing that I completely agree with that approach, but that’s the main reason (combined with Citi Field being a pitcher’s haven that year compared to Citizens Bank Park being hitter-friendly).
I fell in love with baseball in 1996 and I remember thinking that the older players were nothing special the way you mention Griffey. It was Ozzie Smith, Eddie Murray, Orel Hershiser, Wade Boggs, etc. Someday soon, kids are going to think Ohtani and Judge are over the hill and a whole new generation will get the joy of feeling old!
Ohtani and Judge are way too generational to be seen as nothing special. It would more be the guys who are elite, not generational. Same as how we still view Bonds as the greatest, and Ruth as one of the greats
16 year old Red Sox fan who fell in love with the game in 2018 here, I feel like I had that same perception with Albert Pujols or Miguel Cabrera, I was too late to ever experience how great they were and only ever saw their decline
@@michaelsegriff3362 bro he has a World Series ring there is no denying it and he was 2-0 that year and if the rangers didn’t have those two wins they would have missed the playoffs
Even as a Yankee fan,Jacob de Grom was the one who made me fall in love with the art of pitching and for a long time he was my undisputed favourite player. Growing up I realized that having this kind of love for a Met player is not "normal" for a Yankee fan and that made me feel a lil bit bitter about him and me as a fan,but I still respect him a lot and last year I even bought his jersey. I don't think any pitcher will ever come close to what Jake was for me in his prime
As a life-long Rangers fan, I know we have a reputation of adopting the lost toys and misfits of the league, and turning them into our stars. This one isn't that, he may be our 2010 dh Vladimir Guerrero, our grizzled lights-out closer Kirby Yates, or our 2019 ace Mike Minor. But deGrom is forever a Mets legend.
@@texasokiedokie That’s important. Looking good in the uniform. Jake is good at that. He also does a great impression of the Invisible Man on his many stints on the IL.
Also, as a Rangers fan we thank him for his well earned Ring. His six starts were absolutely necessary for us to get into the dance where Monty, Eovaldi and Jon Gray showed up and essentially dominated the competition.
When I see how Luis Gil also has an effortless fastball and secondary pitches in the 90s but so far in his young career has already had several injuries, deGrom is all I can think of I mean don't get me wrong if he pitches like deGrom for a few years anyone would take that, I just can't see his career lasting very long unfortunately
*crying and sobbing in my Mets cap* Please come back Jake… It’s different now. We’re a different person. We have Lindor having an MVP caliber season, Mark Vientos and JD Martinez to help give you all the run support you need. We were wrong but we’ve changed baby, we mean it…
On the off-chance that I’m not the only Bollywood fan and/or Hindi speaker watching, all I can think of whenever I see Jake is, “Ghar waapas aaja, bhaiyya! Please bhaiyya, ghar waapas aaja!” (And I don’t think he’s done. If he’s still effective when his Rangers contract expires, I wonder if he’d even consider returning to Queens. It would guarantee his #48 would be retired.)
When it comes to a team letting down a pitcher, another team that comes to mind is the Angels. They had a man who was pitching AND batting trying to get them wins and they just couldn’t follow up in so many games.
For my first come-to-baseballl-Jesus moment about how meaningless win-loss records are for pitchers, go check out Nolan Ryan, 1987. He led the league in ERA (plus ERA+, but we didn't know about that stat at the time), plus he had his best year in terms of strikeouts and strikeout-walk ratio... yet went 8-16. Sure, it's a stat that made sense in the days when pitchers tended to go the distance, and only got pulled in the event of injury or outright ineffectiveness.
The most disappointing thing I've ever witnessed in my sports watching career is deGrom not finishing the 2021 season. I watched what he was doing that year and it's still hard to believe a pitcher could be that utterly dominant
To think, there were several other starts at the time of his arrival that the Mets regarded as better prospects. No wonder the team has never gotten over the hump!
He’s a HOF’er in my book. Man, remember when he was coming up with Syndegarrd, and (fuck I can’t remember the third guys name) the dark knight dude? That trio was supposed to be the next Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine unbeatable rotation. What could have been…
One of my favorite pitchers of all-time. In his prime the dude was an absolute machine who dominated hitters in unprecedented ways. But I'm in hindsight it's not surprising his body gave out on him. The power and ferociousness he was pitching with combined with his slender frame meant that he was never going to enjoy longevity in his career. It was a trade off. What he was doing wasn't sustainable at his build. He is 6'4 and 180 lbs. His body was geared towards quick snappy movements. He has the frame and bone structure of BIG elite athletes. But he never had the muscle to match. I'm no expert, but my belief is that he was simply putting way too much stress on his connective tissues (which he did for years) and finally they simple gave out on him. Connective tissue injuries are some of the worst especially for athletes. They can be way harder or even impossible to repair compared to muscle injuries or even bone injuries. Ligaments, tendons, cartilage. Once you start over stressing those they can easily become inflamed. If you don't rest it and treat it or ignore it because you're still functioning highly it can lead to CRONIC inflammation. And that can lead to all sorts of problems. Certain athletes even totally wear out their cartilage. Lonzo Ball is a perfect example. He supposedly wore out his cartilage in his knee so bad there was almost none left and it was practically bone rubbing on bone. He's been injured for years and his blossoming career is most likely done. He'll be lucky to be an average player in the league IF he ever returns. I think a similar thing happened to DeGrom. Whatever the details of his injuries are, I think they have caused permanent damage and he will never even get close to being the same pitcher he once was. It's a shame because I think he could have won 3 maybe even 4 or 5 Cy Youngs if he stayed relatively healthy until his late 30s or even until 40 like some pitchers. But his body just wasn't durable enough to sustain the pressure he was putting on it any longer. It's unfortunate. But he was still fantastic for about 8 years which is nothing to sneeze at. And for about 3 of those he was the undisputed best pitcher in the game.
