Jacob deGrom of New York Mets,who threw an overwhelming pitch while easily shooting 100 miles, and now surpasses Cy Young and MVP, expressed his frustration with a series of injuries.
DeGrom pitched a perfect pitch, striking out eight in three innings against the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field in Flushing, New York, USA on the 17th.But his perfect inning lasted three innings. He suffered an early dismissal due to right shoulder pain. 0.54 ERA in 11 games. DeGrom is making history this year. However, he has been injured quite frequently this year. On the 12th, he pitched 6 innings and 10 strikeouts, but went down the mound faster than expected due to right elbow flexor tendinitis.He has had a lot of injuries this year.In early May, he skipped one start due to a lats injury and was later back on the mound, but was placed on the disabled list due to right flank pain.He also had thigh pain.
In 2018 and 2019, he won the Cy Young Award for two consecutive years, emerged as the best pitcher in the major leagues, and this year, he is showing off his power and listening to the fans' 'MVP call' in every game.From 2017 to 2019, he played more than 200 innings for three consecutive years, and there was no major problem in durability.However, this year, injuries he has not suffered so far come all at once, and it seems that he is acting as a reef to finish the season.
Coach Luis Rojas said:I have no regrets at all for not being on the injured list after suffering elbow pain in the last start. The trainers, the coaching staff and the front desk were all involved in this decision. Sometimes it will cause tension in the body at some point, but all I can say is that his mechanism is very clean.It's fun to watch,and his body structure as a pitcher is perfect.It's beautiful to see long limbs, he asserts that it's not a matter of pitching mechanics.
According to MLB.com,This year, DeGrom threw 138 balls over 100 mph. He threw 10 even on this day.He's a lot more than the 129 other starters have thrown.
It was deGrom who was optimistic after being sacked early for elbow pain in the previous 12 days.However, after being slapped with pain in his right shoulder this time,he looked somewhat stiff.It seemed difficult for himself to be optimistic about his condition due to his successive injuries.DeGrom's shoulder injury is the first since his debut.When asked if the arrest could be a problem,he said,I'm angry.I do not know frankly it's frustrating I don't know where to find the answer, whether the restraint is a problem or if it's a problem elsewhere.
It was even more disappointing because it was judged that the condition on this day was the best this season.I am very disappointed today, he said. I got on the mound in a good mood. He felt his best this year in the first two innings. He did everything well. But he had a problem in the third inning.
As a result of the initial examination, no major abnormalities were found in his right shoulder. However, on the 18th, it is expected that the condition will be additionally confirmed through a detailed MRI examination. Depending on the results of the examination, it is worth considering listing the injured on the list.
