The current strongest ace collapsed in the opening match.
Texas Rangers’ Jacob deGrom was battered and ripped early. DeGrom started the opening game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on the 31st (Korean time), gave up 6 hits including 1 home run in 3⅔ innings, and went down the mound after allowing 5 runs.
The number of pitches was 73, and the fastball was up to 101 miles (162.5 km) and averaged 98.5 miles, and he did not give up any four balls. However, he committed a wild throw and was consistent with excessively aggressive pitching, resulting in concentrated hits.
The start was neat. In the top of the 1st inning, DeGrom struck out Trey Turner with 3 pitches, and Kyle Schwaber with a fly in center field and JT Realmuto with a looking strikeout, finished the inning lightly with 10 pitches.
However, the second round of hunting began. DeGrom, who recorded his first hit by giving up a double to the right to Nick Castellanos after one out, allowed Alec Bom to run four in the middle right after two outs. The 99-mile fastball on the 3rd pitch from the ball count 2B was a mistake to enter the high course.
He allowed a long hit in the 3rd inning and allowed 2 runs again. DeGrom, who gave up a right-handed triple to lead Brandon Marsh, allowed Turner to hit another triple, then committed a wild throw in Schwaber’s at-bat, and even Turner stepped on the home plate, widening the score to 0-4.
In the 4th inning, after 1 death, Bom hit a superior double and Jake Cave was treated as a floating ball by center fielder, giving the mound to left-hander Cole Lagans in a situation with 2nd out and 2nd base. However, Lagans was hit by a left-handed double by first batter Marcy, and deGrom’s Bom scored, increasing the number of runs to five.
However, in the bottom of the 4th inning, Jonah Haim’s 2-RBI double and Robbie Grossman’s 3-run home run turned the tide of the game to 7-5 and eliminated deGrom’s defeat.
DeGrom canceled the remaining contract with his original team, the New York Mets last winter, became a free agent, and signed a five-year, $185 million contract with the Texas Rangers. He decided to leave the Mets before last season even started. It is interpreted that he had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Mets. 카지노
The local media interpreted that the Mets stimulated deGrom’s pride by bringing Max Scherzer to a three-year contract worth an annual average of $43.33 million, and this time treating three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander as the best pitcher.
However, it collapsed miserably in the opening game, and the pride that I was trying to find myself collapsed again.
It’s the first time since a June 17, 2021 game against the Chicago Cubs that deGrom has been ripped before the fifth inning. At the time, he pitched well with no hits and no runs and 8 strikeouts until the 3rd inning, but was replaced due to an injury.
