The Resume

    Born in DeLand, Florida
    Pitcher for the New York Mets
    National League Rookie of the Year (2014)

Why he might be annoying:

    With his long locks, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Tim Lincecum.
    He is nicknamed 'The deGrominator.'
    He broke his finger during the offseason castrating a calf.
    He didn't start pitching until his junior year of college.
    He initially turned down a chance to play summer league ball, upon finding out the team intended to use him as a pitcher, rather than a shortstop.

Why he might not be annoying:

    While attending Stetson, he first got noticed by major league scouts after an impressive pitching performance against Chris Sale.
    He initially was going to work the Mets bullpen, before landing in the starting rotation.
    He was the first Mets pitcher in 64 at bats to record a hit.
    He was the first Met in 30 years to earn NL Rookie of the Year honors.
    He set an all-star game record by striking out three batters on ten pitches.
