Wright, who describes deGrom as “one of my favorite people to be around,” praises his teammate for being serious but not taking himself seriously: “[Jacob] stays loose and you can get on him in a joking way and is very receptive to learning and getting better and that’s what you want out of a teammate, someone who isn’t complacent about winning the Rookie of the Year and wants to do more.”

deGrom and Harvey are going to be a great pitching tandem the next few years.
40% of the games will be started by a dominating pitcher. That alone should increase the Mets playoff odds.

Love hearing this kind of praise.
