Jacob deGrom made a triumphant return to the Major Leagues on Friday night, pitching 3 2/3 scoreless innings for the Texas Rangers against the Seattle Mariners, marking his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2023. The two-time Cy Young Award winner struck out four batters and allowed four hits while throwing 61 pitches, 41 of which were strikes. His fastball reached a top speed of 98.7 mph, showcasing the elite velocity that has defined his career, and he recorded a 32.2% whiff rate against Mariners hitters. DeGrom's performance is a positive sign for the Rangers, who are currently struggling in their postseason bid, as he aims to regain his form after a lengthy recovery. The 36-year-old, who is in the second year of a $185 million contract, expressed his excitement to be back on the mound after a 504-day absence from Major League play.
