Jacob deGrom just etched his name in baseball history with his 2,000th career strikeout — accomplished in the fewest games and innings ever recorded for such a milestone. Facing the Nationals, he struck out Daylen Lile and Abimelec Ortiz on nasty sliders, earning a thunderous ovation and a heartfelt cap-tap. A two-time Cy Young winner, deGrom reached this mark in his 272nd start, having thrown 1,661.3 innings since his Mets debut in 2014. He now ranks among the elite, joining only nine active pitchers and 95 all-time, and is the fourth pitcher this season to hit 2K. This isn’t just stats — it’s legacy, pure and powerful.
