How competitive is Jacob deGrom? After Michael Conforto homered off him in live BP the other day, deGrom demanded that he step back into the box. (Conforto homered again.)

Almost forgot to mention: Michael Conforto's two home runs off Jacob deGrom in live BP came on his birthday, March 1.

Conforto also homered in a Grapefruit League game on his birthday last year. 🎂

Joel
Sherman NY Post: Mets’ George Springer what-if filled with intrigue: “I
love Lindor’s game and persona. Having him and Carlos
Carrasco makes the Mets better. But was there another way to go? Was Springer
the better short- and long-term play overall considering what else could have
been done with the personnel/money? I cannot shake how much I like Andres Gimenez
as a player. He is not Lindor. But I would bet on his skills and precocious
savvy to be an above-average shortstop with cost-friendliness for six years.”
Ken Davidoff NY Post: Secret behind Jacob deGrom defying the velocity odds. “'If I knew how to keep increasing it, I think I would keep trying to increase it even more,” a smiling deGrom said on Saturday after his outing...I honestly think that it’s being more comfortable with my delivery. … For me, it was really learning my delivery and being able to repeat that. For me, it’s trying to stay as smooth as I can on the mound.'”
