2023 Fantasy Outlook
Coming off a season where deGrom made only 15 starts while dealing with elbow issues, it took only one spring start before he experienced shoulder soreness. It was soon diagnosed as a stress reaction in his right scapula, which sidelined him until August 2, though that latest injury didn't stop the Rangers from doling out a $185 million contract. The oft-injured right-hander gathered 64.1 inning over 11 starts in 2022, with typically dominant results. He was able to throw all his pitches, again relying on a 99-mph fastball about half of the time. There isn't a bigger wild card in fantasy drafts than deGrom. The pinnacle is the top pitcher in the game, and if he pitches anywhere close to his usual level, deGrom only needs around 150 frames to achieve No. 1 status. He's going to be drafted as one of the first 10 starters off the board, and if he has good spring, it could be top three. Just keep in mind, he'll be 35 years old and including rehab, deGrom has only thrown 182 innings over the last two seasons Read Past Outlooks

Uses all pitches in session
DeGrom (elbow) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session Friday, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
DeGrom threw his fourth bullpen session in the last week-and-a-half and took a significant step this time out. The right-hander used his entire arsenal of pitches, something he hadn't done in the previous three sessions. The Rangers haven't made a decision about a rehab assignment for deGrom, who hasn't thrown more than 32 pitches in his four bullpens.

It's a shame we'll never know what would have happened if deGrom didn't deal with multiple injuries. Unfortunately, right lat inflammation, right flexor tendinitis, shoulder soreness and a partial UCL tear had other plans. In his 92 frames, deGrom recorded a 45.1 K% and 3.4 BB%, resulting in a 41.7 K-BB% mark which would have been the best in history for a qualified starting pitcher. Even though his ERA estimators were still well below 2.00, it's hard to imagine deGrom would have finished the year with a 1.08 mark. It is encouraging he could have returned down the stretch if the Mets were in playoff contention, but deGrom still turns 34 years old in June and he's coming off an injury-riddled campaign. The scary part is deGrom needs only 120 innings to be a top-10 starter. This one isn't about next-level analytics; it's a matter of confidence in his health and risk tolerance.
