Jacob deGrom’s Mets teammates defend him against Twitter cheating allegation
NY Post
The Mets came out in unanimous support of Jacob deGrom on Twitter when an anonymous user posted a video of him going to his belt before a pitch and then touching his glove.
In the tweet, @DoyersDave wrote: “Jacob Decheats or since it’s not [Trevor] Bauer or [Gerrit] Cole, we don’t care? Lol.” It was a reference to the belief that pitchers are using sticky substances on balls to add to their high spin rates and success. Major League Baseball is reportedly planning to ramp up its inspection of doctored baseballs.More Related News
