Jacob deGrom achieved his 2,000th career strikeout, becoming the 95th pitcher in MLB history to reach this milestone, during a game against the Washington Nationals. At 38 years old, he struck out the first two batters and pitched six scoreless innings, leading the Texas Rangers to a 2-0 victory. Despite a challenging 2026 season with a 3.95 ERA, deGrom’s past accolades include winning two Cy Young Awards while playing for the Mets. He has remained a key figure for the Rangers, invoking his no-trade clause to stay with the team amid trade interest.
