2026 review

Gerrit Cole missed time before returning in late May: a 3.61 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 127.0 IP over 22 games and 22 starts for NYY, with 10 W and 9 L, and a 25.2 K% and a 4.8 BB% over 519 BF. He was placed on the 15-day IL for Tommy John surgery recovery on Mar 25, took rehab assignments on Apr 17, Apr 23, Apr 29, May 5, May 10 and May 16, and was activated May 22, missing 58 regular-season days. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 264, he finished 237th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 27 spots above, and 34th of 236 starting pitchers. His 4.8 BB% over 519 BF was the 18th lowest of 517 pitchers with 100+ BF. He posted a 0.00 ERA in 12.2 IP in May against a 6.12 ERA in 25.0 IP in Jun. The TDK LABS card had him still rehabbing in mid May with a fifth rehab start after an outing that reached 77 pitches, by late Aug it had him flashing peak ace stuff again, and by late Sep it had his strikeout stuff undercut by recent home runs, moving the wrong way late in the year.
