New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom was profiled in “Stetson’s Jacob deGrom contends for Cy Young despite losing record” in the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Orlando Sentinel and Yahoo Sports. “Before beating the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 8, deGrom — a Volusia County native who pitched at Stetson — had gone 50 days between victories,” wrote sportswriter Stephen Ruiz. “How does that happen with arguably baseball’s best pitcher this year, one with a miniscule 1.77 ERA?” The article said deGrom could become the first starting pitcher with a non-winning record to ever win Major League Baseball’s prestigious Cy Young Award, if he were selected for the National League’s award in November. Former Hatter Corey Kluber, a two-time Cy Young winner, is in the running again with the Cleveland Indians in the American League.
