In the midst of MLB’s crackdown on pitchers using foreign substances during games, a Twitter user accused Mets ace Jacob deGrom (widely known as the best pitcher in baseball) of cheating in that manner.
The following video in which deGrom is seen rubbing his glove is from his stellar start against the Padres Saturday night.

In response to this allegation, a number of deGrom’s loyal teammates stood by his side.
