Gerrit Cole・Jacob deGrom

The aces of the Big Apple, Gerrit Cole and Jacob deGrom, are MLB top Pitchers for the Month of April.

Both hurlers have had historic starts and have rewritten their franchise record books on multiple occasions to begin the 2021 season. Jacob has posted an ERA of 0.51 with 59 strikeouts over his 35 innings of work. Across town in the Bronx, Gerrit owns a 1.43 ERA with 62 strikeouts over his 37 and 2/3 innings.
