Jacob deGrom Fails to Record a Strikeout for the 1st Time in His MLB Career

  • Jacob deGrom, a 36-year-old two-time Cy Young Award winner, failed to record a strikeout for the first time in his MLB career during a May 26, 2025, game in Arlington, Texas.
  • This unusual performance followed deGrom's return from his second Tommy John surgery and a lengthy absence caused by injuries over the past two years.
  • DeGrom pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing five hits, two walks, and two runs—including a first-inning solo home run by Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho—before being removed by manager Bruce Bochy in the sixth inning.
  • DeGrom threw 81 pitches without strikeouts despite having 1,728 career strikeouts and a 30.9% strikeout rate entering the game, while Toronto's Kevin Gausman struck out six over eight innings with a career-high 89.7% first-pitch strike rate.
  • The loss ended deGrom's seven-start winning streak and highlighted his ongoing efforts to adjust his mechanics and manage workload as he seeks to extend his career effectively.
