We haven’t seen a pitching performance this dominant in some time in the MLB like the one we’re getting out of Jacob deGrom right now. Coming into Friday, deGrom had a 5-2 record for the New York Mets, with a 0.57 ERA in 10 games and over 63 innings pitched, making him an early — but very legitimate — MVP candidate for this season.
DeGrom’s MVP status grew on Friday during a game against the San Diego Padres, as the pitcher went six innings with one hit and 10 strikeouts. Oh, and he drove in two runs for the Mets on a single in the fifth, giving him five driven in runs this year in the batter’s box, one more than the four earned runs he’s accrued this season.
Yes, deGrom now has more runs batted in (5) than earned runs (4) this season.

The record-breaking stats continue to pile up for deGrom as well, as his 100 strikeouts in 61 and two thirds innings earlier in the game were the fewest innings pitched by a starter to hit that mark in over 100 years.

Jacob deGrom is not just the best pitcher in baseball. He's also one of the best-hitting pitchers and one of the best-fielding pitchers. He's a complete player. Those things are going to be legitimate factors in his MVP case when the time comes.
