The Texas Rangers have yet to lose in this playoff series. All this, without their ace pitcher Jacob deGrom who has been on the sidelines for a long time.
Certainly, the latter is happy with the turn of events for his team, but he finds it difficult to watch his teammates perform at this level while not being able to contribute.
It’s difficult. I want to be able to do what I love to do.
For now, deGrom can only resort to acting as an advisor and encouragement to the other Rangers pitchers, but that’s not enough for him.
We can understand it. At the very least, his arm is fine, which helps with his mental state, even though he’s helpless right now.
My arm is already pretty close to normal.
deGrom is only in the fourth month of his rehabilitation following his second Tommy John surgery. So he’s still two months away from doing more in-depth upper body workouts and expects to be on the mound during spring camp.
As for a return to an MLB mound, we’re still ten months away, at least.
It remains to be seen what kind of pitcher deGrom will be when he returns to the game. The main interested party knows that he may have to leave his former speed behind him.
I’m getting a little older. I believe I can throw at a slower speed and throw out a faster pitch when I need to. This is something I need to look into. But it will be difficult for me to hold back. When you’re on the field, you want to go one hundred percent.
In the meantime, the gunner will have to content himself with the role of observer, but let’s say that the spectacle to watch is more than spectacular.
