deGrom Hits 2K Strikeouts | Austin News

Jacob deGrom just etched his name in baseball history with his 2,000th strikeout — the 95th pitcher ever to reach that milestone and the second-fastest ever, based on games and innings. He made up for missing the mark last week due to a triceps issue by dominating the Nationals at Globe Life Field, striking out the first two batters and finishing with 10 Ks and just one walk in six shutout innings. His elite form — low ERAs, high win totals, and multiple Cy Youngs — already make him a Hall of Fame candidate, but injuries since 2021 complicate the narrative. At 38 with one year left on his deal, voters will weigh his peak dominance against missed time — a classic “what if” for a pitcher who’s been unstoppable when healthy.
