Jacob deGrom has made one trip to the postseason since his New York Mets debut in 2014. He was with the club during their amazing run to the 2015 World Series. Only then was he able to have the opportunity to help take down the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in October.
Back then, our perception of deGrom was different. He was one-half of the long-haired young starters throwing bullets on the mound. Alongside Noah Syndergaard, deGrom and company would lead the Mets to at least one championship. At the very least, we’d see plenty of postseason appearances.
