Jacob deGrom is one of the best pitchers to set foot on the mound for the New York Mets. Now entering his 12th MLB season at age 36, the Hall of Fame questions have begun.

The Mets drafted deGrom in the ninth round of the 2010 MLB draft out of Stetson University. Notably a shortstop in college, it would not be his bat or nifty glovework that gained the pitcher notoriety, but rather his drive and tenacity on the mound.
