Jacob deGrom’s MLB Draft, Career & Contracts

Before he started his college career at Calvary Christian Academy in Ormond Beach, Florida. As a basketball player, he was voted the District 9 Class 1A player of the year by the Florida Athletic Coaches Association and selected to the all-state third team for Class 1A.
Later he joined Stetson and played for the Hatters. He was exclusively a shortstop during his freshman and sophomore seasons. Though he was considered a good fielder with a strong throwing arm, deGrom was a light hitter, with a career .263 batting average.
Jacob deGrom started his professional career with the Mets for a $95,000 signing bonus. DeGrom made his major league debut on May 15 against cross-town rival New York Yankees in Citi Field. He faced fellow rookie Chase Whitley, also making his MLB debut. He pitched seven innings, allowing only one run and striking out six, but the Yankees shut out the Mets and won 1–0. DeGrom also collected his first MLB hit in the game in his first career at bat.
deGrom and the Mets avoided an arbitration hearing by agreeing to a salary of $4.05 million for the 2017 season. Later they agreed on a $7.4 million salary for the 2018 season. During the 2018-19 offseason, the Mets hired Van Wagenen as their general manager.
DeGrom and the Mets agreed to a $17 million salary for the 2019 season, the largest annual rise ever for an arbitration-eligible player. With Van Wagenen now negotiating for the Mets rather than deGrom, the two sides agreed to a five-year, $137.5 million contract extension with an option for the 2024 season during spring training in 2019.
DeGrom suffered a stress reaction, the precursor to a stress fracture, in his right scapula during spring training, an injury that caused him to miss the beginning of the 2022 MLB season.
