Yankees ace Gerrit Cole admits he can get 'predictable' vs Rays

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole has pointed out that his signature fastball profile has remained remarkably consistent over a decade and a half. As the veteran prepares for an opening postseason matchup against the Tampa Bay River, he noted that the high rate of strikes he throws with his standard velocity and movement can sometimes play to the advantage of division rivals who are thoroughly familiar with his delivery.

Cole finished his regular campaign following Tommy John surgery with a ten-win, nine-loss record and a 3.61 ERA across 22 appearances, while also navigating recent adjustments tied to automated ball-strike challenges and catcher Austin Wells.
