Is Jacob deGrom on Path to Cooperstown?

We shouldn’t run out to commission his Hall of Fame plaque just yet, but Jacob deGrom could be in the middle of a career that winds up in that upstate New York town. He has a difficult road ahead of him, but he could have one stat that will make his enshrinement possible.

Could Jacob deGrom wind up in Hall of Fame?

That stat will not be wins. Because he started his career at the relatively late age of 26 and because he and the Mets offense cannot seem to connect, he will not accumulate enough wins to justify the Hall of Fame.
