Hello and welcome to On the Corner the official podcast of Pitchelist.com.

I'm your host, Eric Smolski.

As always, by Nick Pollock as we continue our offseason discussions of your top 200.

What is happening?

Yes, we're doing it.

We're doing this really fun series that we hope you enjoyed the one through five.

It's just an easy way for you guys to hear our thoughts on the picture you want to know about really quickly. And these are fun.

These are great, Eric. These are fun. And listen, there's no dilly dallying today because we're

going to talk a lot about this first player because I gotten, again, we talked last week on my,

on the podcast or the last episode where we talked about

the pushback I got on Reddit for my top 150. The biggest pushback I got was I also ranked

Jacob to Grom sixth overall. You did? Have Jacob to Grom sixth overall. Well, remember, we talked

about this when we were comparing and I had de gram like 10 or 11 i thought you were

going to stick there i didn't know you did you did kind of win me over a little bit um you know we talked

about there is there are no sure things with starting pitchers expect starting pitchers to get hurt

at some point in time we have seen de grom finish as like the best starting pitcher in baseball with just 90 innings. So if you were to get 90, 100 innings out of DeGrom,

a top five finish is not crazy. He ended the season healthy. He will begin next season,

presumably healthy. And I just think at some point you got to roll the dice. This isn't a,

hey, I'll take Tyler Glassnow seventh overall because Glassnow is good when he's on the mound.

This is, I'll take DeGrom's sixth overall because he is far and away the best pitcher in baseball when he's on the mound.

I think you take that gamble at some time.

And so talk to me about why DeGrom is six for you.
