In a recent post-game interview, the star pitcher for the Mets, Jacob deGrom, spoke about his performance on the mound. The right-hander had a dominant outing, striking out 10 batters and allowing only one run over seven innings. When asked about his success, deGrom credited his fastball command and ability to mix in his off-speed pitches effectively.
“I feel like my fastball command was really good today,” deGrom said. “I was able to locate it wherever I wanted, and that set up my secondary pitches nicely. It’s always satisfying when you can go out there and execute your game plan.”
DeGrom’s manager, Luis Rojas, also had high praise for his ace starter. “Jacob was fantastic out there today,” Rojas said. “He really buckled down when he needed to and made some big pitches in key situations. He’s a true competitor and a joy to watch pitch.”
The Mets went on to win the game 4-2, thanks in large part to deGrom’s stellar performance. The team is currently sitting atop the division standings and looking like legitimate contenders for a playoff spot.
With the MLB season in full swing, fans are eagerly watching the Mets and other teams to see who will come out on top. DeGrom’s dominance on the mound is sure to be a key factor in the team’s success moving forward.
As for deGrom himself, he remains focused on the task at hand. “I just want to keep going out there and giving my team a chance to win every time I take the ball,” he said. “That’s my job, and I take a lot of pride in doing it well.”
