Jacob DeGrom News: The Mets added DeGrom to their 40-man roster on Wednesday.

The Mets added DeGrom to their 40-man roster on Wednesday.

DeGrom is a top-ten prospect for the Mets who began the year in Single-A, but ascended to Triple-A Las Vegas before the season concluded. He struck out 63 batters over 75.2 innings in Triple-A ball, finishing the season with a 4-2 record for Las Vegas. DeGrom will likely end up starting the year in Triple-A, but the move needed to be made to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
