Rangers' Bruce Bochy Reacts to Jacob deGrom Decision on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Right-handed starting pitcher Jacob deGrom is in his 12th season and his third as a member of the Texas Rangers.

Though it has been years since he was at his peak, deGrom has a legitimate claim to being the most dominant pitcher of his generation. What follows is a look inside the numbers of his comeback season and his brilliant career. It should serve as a reminder of just how great he is.

He was expected to be the ace of a pitching staff that would carry the team deep into the 2023 playoffs. Instead, he spent most of the year on the injured list and watched from the dugout as the Rangers won the first World Seirs championship in franchise history.

Batting .279 with 31 home runs and 58 RBIs so far, Shohei Ohtani is having another monster season at the plate.

When we think of Rangers ace Jacob deGrom, we are instantly reminded of his prime with the Mets that spanned from his 2014 rookie year and lasted through the shortened 2020 season. Over that time, deGrom was widely regarded as the best pitcher in baseball.
