DeGrom made six starts this season, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.67 ERA with 45 strikeouts. However, he hasn’t played since late April due to issues with forearm stiffness and elbow inflammation. 

The Rangers made a big splash in this year’s free agency by landing deGrom, who came to Texas on a five-year, $185 million deal. And while the early returns on the investment seem promising, the team will now have to wait around 12 months before seeing their prized pitcher on the mound again.

DeGrom himself is frustrated with the development but told the Dallas Morning News that he is determined to overcome the challenge.

“It’s not ideal. But at least we know what it is now,” said de Grom. “I want to get it fixed and will set a goal to be back before the end of next year.”

Jacob deGrom spent the first nine years of his MLB career with the New York Mets. He won the NL Cy Young Award twice and earned four All-Star nods while in New York. His career stats include an 84–57 record as a starter with a 2.53 ERA and 1,652 strikeouts.

He was shut down by the Mets due to an elbow sprain back in early July. Since then, the team remained tight-lipped about his condition, saying only that there is no structural damage involved.

In his chat with reporters on Tuesday, however, Alderson revealed that deGrom indeed had a partial UCL tear. According to him, the tear “resolved itself,” and the 33-year-old ace won’t need a procedure to resolve the issue.

Alderson explained that deGrom is currently getting his workload increased, but there are no guarantees that he will progress enough to resume playing in 2021.

“In terms of him pitching the rest of the season, I think that is still very much up in the air,” Alderson added.

Before going down with the injury, Jacob deGrom was in the midst of a stellar season that saw him post a 7-2 record as a starter with 1.08 ERA and 145 strikeouts. His 50 strikeouts in the first four starts in a season were a new MLB record.

Without deGrom on the mound, the Mets experienced a series of ups and downs that currently has them out of the postseason picture. They are currently own a 70-69 record that puts them four games behind the Atlanta Braves in NL East. In the wild-card hunt, Mets trail five games behind the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds.

Jacob deGrom, the sensational right-handed flame thrower who has anchored the Mets’ rotation over the past few years, won his second Cy Young Award based on the merits of his fantastic 2019 season.

The Florida native was excellent all season long, posting a 2.43 ERA and an 11-8 record along with 255 strikeouts.

Despite his mediocre win-loss record, which was the result of a Mets offense that simply couldn’t provide him with much run support, the lanky righty was dominant in nearly every start of the year. His upper-90s fastball with a devastating slider is simply too much for most batters to handle.

With his win, deGrom became the seventh pitcher in the history of the National League to take home the award in consecutive seasons. The last pitcher to do so was Max Scherzer, who won the award in the 2016 and 2017 seasons with the Washington Nationals.

deGrom is the second Mets player to have been awarded a trophy from the BBWAA this week, as teammate Pete Alonso won the NL Rookie of the Year Award on Monday.

deGrom’s extension will see him have an opt-out following the 2022 MLB season, while the Mets hold a club option for 2024. In case the team picks up the option, the 30-year-old’s extension will be for six-year and worth $170 million. The deal also has a no-trade clause.

deGrom, who won the NL Cy Young Award last season, had two years left on his old contract, being scheduled to make $17 million this season and up for arbitration in 2020.

Although New York Mets ended 2018 with 77-85 record, Jacob deGrom had an excellent individual season with 1.70 ERA in 217 innings. This not only led the league but was also the fifth-lowest ERA in a single season since 1969. He had 32 starts in which he went 10-9 but provided 269 strikeouts.

After receiving his majors debut in 2014, deGrom quickly established himself as the New York Mets’ leading pitcher and managed to win the NL Rookie of the Year award. He added two All-Star appearances later on alongside previously mentioned Cy Young Award. His MLB career stats include 55 – 41 record, 2.67 ERA and 1,000 strikeouts.

Cole went on a similar run during 1910 season, when he had 25 straight starts in which he allowed three or fewer runs per game.

Jacob deGrom is officially done after seven innings and two runs. He allows three or fewer runs for the 26th consecutive start, breaking Leslie "King" Cole's single-season Major League record.

That mark stood for 108 years.

Jacob deGrom is having an incredible season by all standards, with his latest stats for 2018 including 1.71 ERA, 2.06 FIP, 195 innings pitched, 239 strikeouts and 0.95 WHIP. His ERA is the best in the league at the moment, with his closest rival, Philadelphia Phillies’ Aaron Nola, having a full half-run ERA worse with 2.29.

Still, despite deGrom’s heroics, the New York Mets can’t get to a winning record. During his record-breaking run of 26th straight starts, Mets went 9-17. In this season, he is 8-9 as a starter.
