Jacob deGrom, a renowned former Mets pitcher, is shifting his approach to maintain his pitching career after a series of injuries. He aims for sustainability rather than sheer dominance, incorporating more changeups and curveballs instead of solely relying on his powerful fastball-slider duo. Previously, he reached remarkable velocities, averaging over 99 mph in his prime seasons, but injuries led to a drastic decrease in his appearances. Now, with the Texas Rangers, deGrom focuses on a lower average fastball speed to prolong his career and remain effective without risking further injury.
Looking at what's probably best for me and staying out there is try to pitch a little bit smarter.
