New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom is arguably the best pitcher in baseball. He’s won back-to-back Cy Young awards — something no other Met has done. His 16 fWAR over the previous two seasons leads all pitchers, with Max Scherzer‘s 14 the next closest.
That’s why Steven Matz believes the COVID-19 delay won’t affect deGrom. In an interview with SNY Matz said, “Everyone will be in the same boat. He’s still going to go out and dominate. Everyone is playing by the same set of guidelines. It doesn’t matter if the season is short or long, he’s just going to be himself and that will be pretty good.
