Mets Playoff History: Jacob deGrom’s 2015 NLDS heroics

When we think back to the 2015 postseason, many of us fast-forward to the World Series and the mistakes made there. However, there were many great performances by New York Mets players throughout the playoffs.

In the first round of the postseason, when the Mets faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the controversial series was a back-and-forth battle featuring two starts by Jacob deGrom. Both times he came up huge.

deGrom made his postseason debut in game one against Clayton Kershaw. Despite striking out 11 Mets batters, Kershaw was the weaker of the two starters.
