Gerrit Cole’s 2022 season was a practice in extremes.
But across his 33 regular-season starts, he was often burned by the long ball. There are few ideal times to give up a home run, but Cole seemed to allow many of his at especially inopportune times. Fifteen of them gave the other team a lead, 12 came in the fifth inning or later, 14 occurred with two outs and 15 came with at least one runner on base.
“Some pitches were good pitches, some pitches were bad pitches, some were bad sequences,” Cole said. “The solo home runs — it’s the late ones that kind of flip the game a little bit or the ones where there are two or three runners on base that kind of sting the most. Now, for the first time in his Yankees career, Cole enters the season with a legitimate No. 2 starter behind him in Carlos Rodon. The team hopes its rotation will be one of its biggest strengths as it sets out in pursuit of a different October outcome than the one it suffered last fall, when the Yankees were swept — or “waxed,” as Cole put it — by the Astros in the ALCS.
