Mookie Betts had some high praise for Jacob deGrom after the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the New York Mets earlier this week.

"I don't even know how to answer," Betts said in the locker room after Wednesday's game about what it's like to face deGrom. "He's pretty much the best, maybe the best to ever pitch. He's a tough task."

Betts hit a home run against deGrom, but the Dodgers won 2-1.

DeGrom has been dealing with a stress reaction injury in his right shoulder this year, which has caused him to miss a lot of playing time.
