Gerrit Cole “The Cole Train” was named AL Pitcher of the Month in June by MLB, as he’s been steamrolling hitters at the plate with his wizardry and 100 plus MPH fastball. “Air” Yordan Alvarez received much-deserved recognition as well, being named AL Rookie of the Month, and I think I know why.
Gerrit Cole is in his 2nd season and 1st full season with the Houston Astros and he’s turning heads, not only of fans but batters as well. He is marveling opposing offenses with double-digit strikeout games, jockeying for position for the MLB strikeout lead with Max Scherzer.
