New York Yankees starter Gerrit Coleis pitching to a 2.90 ERA.
And one adjustment seems to have made a positive impact on the right-handers game. Baseball Amercia has come out with their 80-grade tools list, highlighting the best in each category. Cole’s fastball, which he has tweaked, is considered the best.
Cole’s four-seam fastball sits 96-97 mph, touches 100 and plays up with high spin rates and late life through the strike zone. Notably, he has dialed his fastball down about 1 mph this year to improve his command. The result has been fewer fastballs left over the heart of the plate, more on the edges of the strike zone and a .210 opponent average against his four-seam fastball—his best mark since 2019.
