Drew Hutchison. Jacob deGrom. You probably never thought you'd see a comparison between these two pitchers, right? After all, Jacob deGrom is the best pitcher in MLB. In fact, the Mets Jacob deGrom is having a historic season right now. The Blue Jays Drew Hutchison, however, is the anti-deGrom, a title given to a pitcher that is lucky with Wins and Losses relative to ERA.

This video serves as both a celebration of 2018 Jacob deGrom, as well as 2021 Jacob deGrom highlights. It also highlights the 2015 Blue Jays, one of the more entertaining teams of the past decade. They had a powerful offense, buoyed by Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, and Edwin Encarnacion.

But ultimately, it's Drew Hutchison who is the star of the show. And this video's frank discussion of MLB run support puts Hutchison on top and deGrom on the bottom. deGrom Cy Young be darned, Hutchison made history as well.
