Mets: Jacob deGrom looks solid coming out of Spring Training
Spring Training started out a little rocky for the Mets right-handed pitcher Jacob deGrom, but his bounce back from a minor bump in the road was something only he could pull off.
Jacob deGrom left Mets camp for a couple of days at the start of Spring Training for the birth of his second child, Anniston. He returned to Port St. Lucie, not even a week later, with complaints of stiffness in his lower back. This threw his entire spring schedule off, making his chances of starting Opening Day very slim.
Since then, it has been announced that Noah Syndergaard will take the mound on Opening Day at Citi Field with deGrom pitching game 2 of the regular season.
