I'm not comparing a position player to a pitcher. What I'm saying is all of these criticisms of deGrom can be applied to Judge. It you want to say the deGrom doesn't have the counting stats yet, neither does Judge, and he won't by the end of the season, assuming he stays healthy.

Judge broke the AL record for homeruns in a season

He has 3 seasons of 50+ homeruns.

Number of players to do that in the past 15 years with multiple seasons of 50+ homeruns:

1 - Aaron Judge

Does DeGrom have ANY record of any sort? No. 2021 he darn sure was looking like he was going to venture into that territory but got hurt.

It is amazing how much you are willing to argue on these boards about DeGrom's candidacy. Nearly everyone is saying he's borderline and likely to get in if he can finish his career strong like he is this year. In no way can you legitimately say he should be a lock based on 3 1/2 seasons of elite pitching.
