Gerrit Cole News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole had another strong outing on Wednesday as he pitched on the road against the Baltimore Orioles. He pitched seven innings and allowed six hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out five. He earned the win to improve to 4-0 on the season. Cole has now turned in quality starts in five straight appearances, racking up 39 strikeouts and just five walks over the five-game stretch. He'll take a 2.89 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP into his next start on Monday, which will be against the Orioles once again.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole pitched well in Sunday's Game 1 2-1 win over the Rangers. Cole took a no-decision, pitching 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball on five hits (including a solo home run), a walk, and 10 strikeouts. The 31-year-old has started to look like his old self again and is now 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA, 37 strikeouts, and 11 walks over six starts and 30 1/3 IP. His strikeout numbers are still a little lower than they have been the past couple of seasons and his walk numbers are a bit higher, but fantasy managers should feel comfortable with how he has pitched lately. His next start will likely be a decent matchup against the White Sox on the road.
After a rocky start to the 2022 season, New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole settled in over his last two outings. The 31-year-old right-hander allowed no runs in either of his last two starts, pitching a total of 12.2 scoreless innings and racking up 15 strikeouts. Through five total starts on the season, Cole has gone 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP and a 27% strikeout rate. He's been giving up a good amount of hard contact with a 41.9% hard-hit rate that ranks in the 36th percentile. However, he's been susceptible to hard contact in the past and that hasn't prevented him from being completely dominant so fantasy managers shouldn't have any concern there at this point. He'll be making his next start on Friday against the Texas Rangers.

What goes up must come down, and that seems to be the case after New York Yankees starting pitcherGerrit Cole could not quite replicate the all-time season that he had in 2019. The nearly unheard of 39.9% strikeout rate he posted in 2019 made his stellar 32.6% mark in 2020 seem disappointing, but his elite walk rate did not budge at 5.9%. With fewer strikeouts came more contact -- coming up to a 69.1% contact rate, up from a 66.3% mark -- and all of this, along with the negative home ballpark shift, resulted in some more long balls (1.73 home runs per nine innings), which contributed to his ERA also bloating all the way up to a still incredible 2.84. Cole decided if it's not broken, don't fix it in 2020, keeping his pitch distribution and all of the PITCHf/x metrics on his offerings the same, and that parlayed into another Cy Young-caliber year -- he finished fourth in the voting. It is a very good bet that Cole's home run issues improve in 2021, given that his 1.73 home runs allowed in 2020 rank in the 92nd percentile among pitchers with ground-ball rates between 40% and 45% and strikeout rates above 30% over the last five seasons. The Yankees ace is as good of a bet as anybody to take home the SP1 crown in 2021, and he might find himself slipping into the late second round on draft day.
