I'm an Atlanta Braves x Miami Marlins fan, but I've always been a fan of Jacob deGrom. He was such a big force when he was with the New York Mets. He led that incompetent team to a World Series appearance! Amazing!
I'm a little bit excited to have him back on Friday, because I'll miss him a little bit. I just hope he stays healthy. He's 36 now and things are only going to get tougher for him from now on.
