Gerrit Cole is the only pitcher in MLB postseason history with at least 100 IP as a starter and a K% > 29%.
Hope the Cole Train keeps rolling in Tampa.
Show this to someone who says baseball is boring
It’s all about these unbelievable moments where the entire stadium is chanting “HOLY SHEETS ”
and then Gavin Sheets hits a bomb to send the crowd into a frenzy
Carlos Rodón vs. Gerrit Cole is a very interesting discussion to have for the Yankees’ Game 1 SP vs the Rays.
TB has 3 above average hitters vs LHP on the season (Caminero, Yandy, Vilade). That goes up to 7 vs RHP.
Cole may start but Rodón should be a big factor regardless.
Luis Garcia Jr. (.761) and Ben Rice (.731) lead all hitters in 2026 postseason xwOBA so far.
George Lombard Jr is 11th (.426).
The Yankees had a .392 xwOBA as a team in their wildcard romp.
