DeGrom made some progress with his mechanical adjustments, especially after the first inning, allowing two runs in eight innings Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

DeGrom's elbow has been below his shoulder and his stride has been too far towards first base, resulting in his arm dragging and pitches coming in flat towards the plate. He allowed two runs in the first but was able to incorporate some of the tweaks as the game wore on. DeGrom went through a similar issue last season and fixed it within a few starts. This season, possibly due to his last start and then family issues, he has been unable to fix it that quickly. However, the video work and side sessions he is conducting under the tutelage of pitching coach Dan Warthen should mean the problems get remediated before too long.
