Leisurely
The 32-year-old DeGrom looks better than ever in his eighth season in the major league. Not only does it average 99 mph using fastball, compared to 94 mph when it first debuted in 2014, it is also promoting it with more “lift”. The pitch is dropping an inch on average less than it was in 2020, making the hitters see it moving into the hit area as it approaches.
