Jacob deGrom is ready to snap his fingers and — presto — return to form as a potential ace of the Mets’ rotation.
After undergoing September surgery to relocate the ulnar nerve in his right elbow, deGrom felt discomfort any time he snapped his fingers. That pain no longer surfaces, leading the pitcher to believe he is ready to start throwing again.
“It feels like nothing happened,” deGrom said Friday at Citi Field, where he spoke to reporters before heading to a promotional event.
DeGrom said he expects to pick up a baseball within the next two weeks for the start of his offseason throwing program.
