Gerrit Cole To Face Live Hitters Wednesday
10 months agoNew York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole is scheduled to face live hitters at spring training on Wednesday over two innings for his first live batting practice session of camp. Cole won the American League Cy Young award in 2023 by going 15-4 with a league-best 2.63 ERA (3.16 FIP), a league-best 0.981 WHIP, 48 walks and 222 strikeouts in a league-high 209 innings over 33 starts. The six-time All-Star has had an ERA over 4.00 just once in his 11 major-league seasons and has now topped the 200-strikeout mark six times in his career, including in each of the last two seasons. He's fully healthy as he prepares for the start of his 12th season in the majors and is justifiably in consideration to be the first starting pitcher off the board in upcoming fantasy drafts.
