It’s “deGrom day” in Arlington once again on Tuesday, as fans await for Jacob deGrom to take the mound at Globe Life Field against the Kansas City Royals....
, recently ranked the best arms in the league on the basis of “who you would want pitching for your team during a playoff run” right now.
After taking the No. 1 spot on the list in 2022, “durability is the big question” for the Rangers ace this year, McDaniel said, and was the main reason why he came in at No. 2 on the list for 2023 behind Miami’s Sandy Alcantara. “DeGrom has thrown 156 1/3 innings over the past two seasons combined, which pales in comparison to the 228 2/3 innings Alcantara threw just last season. He is also 34 years old,” McDaniel said.
“This ranking, however, shows how good the production was when deGrom was able to take the mound, evidenced by one of the best ERA estimators: deGrom’s 1.57 xFIP in 2021-22 vs. Alcantara’s 3.29 in 2022. A couple of sources argued deGrom should still be first on the list, but Alcantara was the consensus pick because we’re ranking for the entire season rather than one win-or-go-home game.”
DeGrom has one career start against Kansas City, a 3-1 win for the Mets in 2019. He picked up the victory after going seven innings, allowing one earned run.
