Jacob deGrom shines again.
The star Mets right-hander took the mound Wednesday afternoon against the Brewers for his 15th start of the year, and in the middle stages of the 7-inning matchup, added a tremendous accomplishment to his lucrative resume.
In the top of the fourth inning, deGrom struck out Brewers shortstop Willy Adames.
But it wasn’t any old “K.”
With the strikeout, Jacob became the second-fastest pitcher in MLB history to record 1,500 in a career.
The fastest?
Padres right-hander Yu Darvish, who needed 197 starts for the accomplishment. Wednesday was deGrom’s 198th career start.
