DeGrom has been unbelievable this season! 

Having grown up as a shortstop saved a LOT of young bullets that other Ps fire. 

I'd wonder if not having the normal teenage wear and tear is a key part of the reason why he seems to throw HARDER about every season!

Also, all who've watched him play a ton over the years say he's a truly phenomenal athlete, who is also ultra competitive!
