"It was fun to get back out there and in a game situation -- a little extra adrenaline, crowd and whatnot."
Gerrit Cole's first stop on his return from Tommy John surgery took the #Yankees ace to Somerset: https://t.co/iF6n8bysNz
Gerrit Cole's first rehab start is in the books:
4.1 IP
3 H
3 R
1 BB
3 K
The @Yankees ace threw 44 pitches (36 strikes) and his penultimate pitch was his hardest of the night at 96 mph.
He eclipsed 94 mph+ 12 times after the first inning.
@Yankees@SOMPatriots Cole returns to face 1 batter in the 5th and records the out.
88 mph
94 mph
96 mph
87 mph
He exits after throwing 44 pitches, 36 strikes and his 43rd pitch was his hardest of the night at 96 ๐ฅ
@Yankees@SOMPatriots Cole does indeed come out for the 4th and turns in another 4-pitch frame:
89 mph
87 mph
94 mph
87 mph
He is at exactly 40 pitches.
A glimpse into the (not-so-distant) future of the @Yankees' infield? ๐
