Gerrit Cole demonstrated some decline in 2022, allowing 1.48 HR/9 on his way to a 3.50 ERA and a career-high total in homers allowed with 33. There is your knock on the 32-year-old. The rest of his numbers remained stellar. He led the league in strikeouts with 257 of them in 200 2/3 innings, kept his WHIP at 1.02, and carried an xFIP of 2.77, meaning his ratios were slightly inflated. On top of that, the Yankees led MLB in team defensive runs saved, so anything FIP doesn't take into consideration should still be positive. Cole will typically pitch into the sixth inning, meaning he qualifies for wins and quality starts more often than not, and the Yankees should win an abundance of games in 2023. He is not the clear-cut SP1 he's been in years past, but he should still be one of the first off the board.

Gerrit Cole fans nine, walks zero in Game 2 loss Tuesday

Gerrit Cole pitched six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and zero walks while striking out nine in New York’s 3-2 loss to the Rangers in Game 2 of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Fantasy Impact

Cole finishes the regular season 13-8 with a 3.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 257 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings across 33 starts. The strikeouts make him worth the early-round draft capital fantasy managers had to expend on Cole but 13-8 leaves something to be desired. Cole was dominant a lot of the year but threw up some clunkers as well. His strikeout totals will keep his ADP next season but he likely won’t be the first pitcher off the board in most leagues.
