Jacob deGrom struck out the first 8 batters he faced last night, and 13 overall. Sadly the bullpen couldn't hold the lead for him.
Still, I think he almost has to win Rookie of the Year at this point. Billy Hamilton has received more hype and steals a ton of bases, but he's subpar as a hitter. The only way deGrom doesn't win it at this point is if the voters decided he simply hasn't logged enough innings.
