deGrom’s 2K Ks and Hall of Fame Case | Duluth News

Jacob deGrom just joined an elite club with his 2,000th career strikeout—and at 38, he’s only getting started. Already hailed by manager Skip Schumaker as a Hall of Famer, deGrom’s dominance defies old-school metrics. With two Cy Youngs, a fastball that still cracks the radar gun, and an ERA under 3.00, he’s one of just 17 pitchers ever to reach 2K strikeouts and that low ERA—14 of them already in Cooperstown. His durability, athleticism, and recent shutout performance prove he’s still firing on all cylinders. This isn’t just another milestone—it’s a statement: deGrom is rewriting the blueprint for greatness, and legends like Dizzy Dean might be his modern-day peers.
