Mets Ace Jacob DeGrom Throws 102 MPH With A 95 MPH Slider
Mets ace Jacob DeGrom is always filthy, but today he took over baseball Twitter with a 102 MPH fastball and a 95 MPH slider. Check out this devastating stuff from the 2-time Cy Young winner:
Velocity is noticeably up across Major League Baseball, but DeGrom's fastball is second-best in the game (98.6). Not even sure if the fastball was the most impressive part of this video as he rips Juan Soto's soul out his body with a slider. If you're wondering how many guys in the big leagues throw a slider like this look no further. Jacob DeGrom throws the hardest slider in the bigs, and it's not close:
Everything DeGrom does is peak performance that makes his annual Cy Young level seasons an expectation. We're incredibly lucky to have social media around these days so we don't miss a beat on his historic career. Days like these make us thankful we write for a living instead of trying to hit this guy.
