Gerrit Cole got off to a fantastic start in his first full season with the New York Yankees. Cole pitched to a 1.37 ERA in his first eight starts, putting him second to Jacob deGrom in terms of ERA across MLB.
However, Cole’s last four starts have raised some eyebrows with recent struggles. Dating back to May 17 against the Texas Rangers, Cole has a 4.30 ERA over four starts and his season ERA has increased nearly an entire run. Of his last four starts, Cole’s allowed five earned runs in two of them with at least one home run allowed in both.
