The New York Yankees‘ $324 million dollar man has thrown his first pitching Pinstripes as catchers and pitchers reported to spring training on Wednesday.
In what seems to be an extremely optimistic season for the Bombers, Cole brings a bevy of skills and talents to New York, his childhood club.
Cole had a stellar 2019 season with the Houston Astros, racking up 326 strikeouts and a 2.50 ERA, both career-highs in a season that brought him to the World Series. Having pitched in two consecutive WS, Cole could reach a third in 2020, especially with a starting pitching rotation that includes Luis Severino, James Paxton, and Masahiro Tanaka.
