GDT 8-18-18 NIGHT OF THE FOLTYVILLE STOPPER

No doubt. He better win the Cy Young award this year. He’s by far the best pitcher right now.

Perhaps Enscheff can weigh in here because deGrom is 30 and has done nothing but get better since he was about 26 or 27. However, our very own Sean Newcomb is 25 and, by all metrics appears to be in decline.

What are the factors that drive the difference in trajectories between the two pitchers?

it's all about probalities... DeGrom is like six sigma out in the right handed tail...when making decisions about any player you have to consider the range of possible outcomes and try to weight them appropriately

Rarities, like a Scherzer who only went from good to great by age 28.

(FTR: It seems Folty might be on a path of being a rarity himself)
