After having his career derailed by injuries, veteran right-hander Jacob deGrom - at the age of 37 - has transformed back into one of baseball's most dominant starters.
However, the two-time Cy Young Award winner isn't overpowering hitters like he used to. Instead, deGrom has scaled back his velocity and is relying more on his secondary offerings in an effort to stay healthy.
While the approach may be new, the results have been classic deGrom.
