American right-handed ace whose back-to-back Cy Young Awards, devastating slider and remarkable recovery from Tommy John surgery have produced one of the most extraordinary two-year stretches in pitching history.
Jacob deGrom is widely considered the most dominant pitcher of his era, winning back-to-back NL Cy Young Awards in 2018 and 2019 with historically low ERAs and historic strikeout-to-walk ratios. His combination of triple-digit fastball velocity, exceptional slider, and elite command produced a pitching arsenal considered among the finest ever assembled. Injury challenges have limited his availability, but when healthy, no pitcher has been more dominant.
