Lot of pressure to succeed after being named Rookie pitcher of the month. Feels like deja vu.....
Look at Odrisamer Despaigne...

He was right there with DeGrom as far as best rookie in the league, dominating everyone. But since his near no-hitter vs. Mets on 7/20.....he has been very hittable. It could happen to DeGrom too. Just a warning. DeGrom is new to the league, eventually they will get some scouting on him and hit him, then it will be up to him to make adjustments.
