Nestor Cortes News
New York Yankees left-handed starting pitcher Nestor Cortes lowered his ERA to a Major League Baseball second-best 1.50 on Thursday, following another impressive outing in a 6-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Cortes threw seven shutout innings while giving up no earned runs on five hits while walking two batters and striking out seven. While the spin rate on all of Cortes' pitches was down in comparison to the first two months of the season, he did manage to generate 12 whiffs on 47 swings against his pitches on Thursday afternoon. Cortes is currently generating a 30.7% chase rate and a 23% whiff rate on his pitches in 2022, as the lefty continues to be one of the most consistent starting pitchers in baseball.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes had yet another fantastic outing against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. He pitched eight innings and allowed three hits, no walks and one earned run while striking out seven. The only damage came on a solo home run off the bat of Adam Engel in the eighth inning. Cortes earned the win on Sunday to improve to 2-1 on the year. He now has a 1.35 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP over seven starts with 49 strikeouts over 40 innings. He'll look to keep the good times rolling in his next trip to the mound, which will be against the White Sox again on Friday.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes was dominant in his start against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He pitched five innings and allowed three hits, one walk and no runs while striking out a career-high 12. He achieved the 39th immaculate inning in MLB history in the fourth inning of the game when he struck out the side with just nine pitches. Unfortunately for Cortes, the Yankees' offense was nowhere to be found in the game, leaving Cortes with a no decision. The left-hander has begun the 2022 season by throwing 9 1/3 scoreless innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his third start of the year on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians.
