I would do him like this:

top speed: 97 (since he sits around 93 easily)
control 140
stamina: 147
SLD 1-3 anywhere
2SFB (or you could make it SIFB, it has more horizontal movement): 2-3
CHG 3-4 is good
CB 2-3 is good

Vs Lefty 4 is actually okay, lefties are limited to an ever lower average
Fastball Life 4 might be a good special to get
You can consider Dr K but I probably wouldn't do it (9.2k/9)
the goal would be to limit/avoid all other blue abilities so he doesn't become crazy good.

I'll add your other creation to the Wii wiki page. If you are looking for other Mets we still need done on Wii, here's what I have left:
Lucas Duda
Ruben Tejada
Josh Thole
Bobby Parnell

Hey LetsGoMets, for Jacob deGrom, I noticed that you gave him a D in stamina and G in control. I can understand that you're trying your best, but would you mind if I tried remaking him?

Yeah sure, go ahead. My version of him wasn't that great. I would have had more points to use had I played the final game against Sittch, but oh well. I'm not an expert on creating players by any means, but I figured that if nobody else was going to take these guys, I'd make them.

Okay, thank you. I probably won't have him done until midnight tonight, maybe tomorrow. I have to work 4-9 tonight, and I should be able to start him around 2pm. I do not have access to my wii at the moment.

If you could, please give him Dr. K and Star. Those are 2 abilities that I wanted but didn't give him. Also, some hitting abilities. He used to play shortstop in college. Thanks again.

In my opinion, I don't think he should have Star yet, and the only times I get Dr.K is by getting 11+ strikeouts in the last game against sittch (I don't know exactly how it works). I know you can get the book, but I don't like doing the arcs.

Alloutwar, and LetsGoMets, would adding Spin 4 be acceptable for striking out people or just stick with Dr.K.? And W/RISP 4? or Poise 4? Because he had a 2.69 ERA.
I'll shoot for C (135) in control, then if I have the points, I'll bump it up to 140. I'd rather get his top speed to a minimum of 95 MPH.

I'm all about fastball life 4 since that was his best pitch by far. Spin means good breaking ball auction but I'm not convinced he has that. I can check his left on base numbers to see if RISP/4 is okay...

He has good k/9 rates, over 9, but not quite Dr K levels ImO. I didn't even give Sergio romo that and he Ks over 10 per 9 innings.

If I can get him Dr.K through getting many strikeouts, then I will. I don't think I'd be able to get all of his skills and abilities while doing Lucy's arc. I've only done 4 arcs in my entire career with MLBPP.
deGrom's strand rate last season was 77.1%. I wouldn't know if that's W/RISP 4 worthy.

Generally 70-72% is considered average. The higher the percentage the better it could be considered they pitch when runners are on base. So a LOB% of 60% would be awful (W/RISP 2) but a score of 85% is great ( which is where I give W/RISP 4). Just be careful because one year of major league stats can be misleading. His LOB% may regress toward the mean or around 72%.

hmmm I see, I would like to give him a blue ability that could help him achieve a lower ERA, would poise 4 work then?
