Musings Ramblings, Other Stuff: Jacob deGrom

Jacob deGrom

What he's done to get added:

Been a boost for people who have added him to their starting rotations lately. He has been pretty consistent in his performance this year as he's given up three runs or less in all of his starts (with the exception of a disastrous performance against St. Louis on June 16). Speaking of disasters, his win total is only three due to him being on the New York Mets.

What to expect going forward:

The Mets may be terrible as always, but deGrom's early success does seem sustainable as both his FIP & xFIP are pretty close to his ERA. If anything, he may be getting a bit unlucky as opposing hitters do have a .323 BABIP against him. The final numbers I think he'd have over a full season (200 inning span) are as follows:

3.33 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 169 K, 8W

Pretty much, I think he is a solid pick up, he's going to give owners some strikeouts and reasonably decent ERA & WHIP totals, the only concern is whether the Mets will give him enough offense to actually get some wins at some point.
