Jacob deGrom is back in vintage form for the Texas Rangers, showcasing his elite skills after a challenging recovery from his second Tommy John surgery. With a record of 9-2 and an impressive 2.29 ERA over 18 starts, deGrom has regained his status as an All-Star ace. His recent selections highlight not only personal resilience but also the pivotal role he plays in the Rangers' success.

His streak of 14 consecutive starts allowing no more than two runs exemplified his dominance, and he nearly achieved a no-hitter during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. Rangers management, including President Chris Young and Manager Bruce Bochy, have praised deGrom's effortless style and talent, underlining the importance of monitoring his workload carefully to maintain his health.
