Gerrit Cole

[New York Knight]

1.81 ERA in 10 games this season. That’s the lowest ERA by a Yankee pitcher through his first 10 games of a season since Hideki Irabu in 1998 (min. 50 IP)

1st pitcher in AL history with at least 90 strikeouts and 10 walks or fewer through his first ten games of a season

4th game this season pitching at least 6 innings with no runs allowed and 5 hits or fewer. The most in MLB.

First Yankees pitcher with a sub-2.00 ERA and sub-0.900 WHIP through his first 10 starts of a season since Allie Reynolds in 1952.

Only two pitchers in American League history have multiple seasons with at least 90 strikeouts and an ERA below 2.00 through first 10 games of a season:

Pedro Martinez (1999-2001)
Gerrit Cole (2018, 2021)


Struck out 40 straight batters without allowing a walk at home. That tied the Yankees’ home record for most K’s without a walk, set by Dellin Betances in 2016.
