Jacob deGrom only Mets player selected to All-Star Game

Jacob deGrom’s selection to the National League All-Star team Sunday wasn’t a surprise, but the fact the Mets were otherwise shut out might have rated as one.
Taijuan Walker, Marcus Stroman and Edwin Diaz were the other Mets players with solid All-Star cases. DeGrom, who is scheduled to pitch twice before the All-Star break — including in the final game — reiterated Sunday his plan to not pitch in the July 13 Midsummer Classic in Colorado. “I have been a little beat up in this first half and obviously missed a few starts, which I wish I wouldn’t have missed, so I don’t think it makes much sense,” said deGrom, who leads the major leagues with a 0.95 ERA this season.More Related News
