Gerrit Cole
Gerrit Cole is this year's winner of the "Are we witnessing the decline?" award, given annually to the former superstar ace who had an injury-plagued year and returned looking like a much lesser version of himself. Cole is now 33 and pitched only 95 innings in 2024 due to an elbow injury that ate up the first half of the season. His K% dropped for the fourth straight season down to 25.4, and his walk rate jumped to 7.4%, the worst of his career since his first year in Houston. Is he a good bounce-back candidate for 2025? It's possible, as we can't be sure how much his injury lingered through the season. But he could just as easily struggle in the same way or with the same injury. Either way, the dominant, set-and-forget version of Gerrit Cole may be gone. Be careful on draft day.
