Gerrit Cole got through his fifth and final Grapefruit League start on Friday feeling healthy and ready for the regular season.
Cole tossed 5 ²/₃ innings of one-run ball against the Twins, working his pitch count up to 84 without issuing a walk and striking out three in his final spring tuneup.Cole’s fastball averaged 96.4 mph — down a tick from where it was earlier this spring — but neither he nor manager Aaron Boone was concerned.
Across five starts this spring, Cole posted a 3.32 ERA with 27 strikeouts and only one walk in 21 ²/₃ innings.Making his fourth start of the spring in left field on Friday, Judge got much more action than he did in the first three games, including a chance to throw out Twins infielder Edouard Julien as he tried to stretch a single into a double.
