Something I've notived

Whenever Degrom pitches, he bats 8th. I dont think Ive seen any other teams do that with their pitchers...I wonder if theres a specific reason why. Anyone know?

[remeedella]

deGrom can actually bat and has actually batted. He's better than some main starting batters

Larussa did this for years at cards

he likes the way it sets up the leadoff hitter

^Yes, he did it quite often.
