He came.

He pitched.

He didn’t fall apart.

In the most important spring training game in Texas Rangers history, Jacob deGrom threw three scoreless innings, striking out four Mariners, and allowing just two hits.

He threw three fastballs that broke 100 mile per hour.

With just eight more spring training games left, deGrom should get one more start before the regular season. That start will be the most important spring training start in Texas Rangers history.
