Jacob deGrom is a nightmare for many players. Are you wondering why that is? No, he is not a monster that scares the others, Jacob is a player with an excellent score who shows every time that he can do better. With five starts behind him, Jacob is becoming a great potential and one of the key players for the New York Mets.

The Mets' leadoff hitter has a 2.15 ERA and has collected 46 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings. These are the numbers Jacob had before he had to pause his career due to injury. Jacob's fastball and slider combination are probably one of the most powerful combinations. Because of this, Jacob has not had to interfere with the overpowering change until now.

With more than nine out of every 10 pitches, Jacob throws this season being sliders or fastballs. These are the same explosive fastballs as well as wipeout sliders that have made this player the most dominant pitcher in the world. That's the basic formula for his style of play, fastball away to right hitters and down to left hitters. This season, the most that could jump out is the ratio of slider and fastball usage. Such a trend remained present in numerous situations.

Jacob often uses his killer combo at the same frequency and will likely continue to do so in the future to the happiness of his teammates and the detriment of many clubs in the league.
