SportsDeGrom Reaches 2,000th Strikeout, Second-Fastest
Jacob deGrom is set to become the second-fastest pitcher ever to reach 2,000 career strikeouts as he starts for the Texas Rangers against the Washington Nationals, carrying 1,998 K’s and dealing with recent triceps fatigue. At 38, he would join Randy Johnson as the fastest to 2,000 in terms of games and would be the ninth active player and 94th all-time to reach the milestone, with projections and recent updates underscoring a careful but confident return from injury-prone years.
