Heading into his Thursday outing — his final of the 2025 regular season — Carlos Rodón has a 3.04 ERA, 3.76 FIP and 1.06 WHIP with 198 strikeouts in 32 starts (189 1/3 innings). His 4.7 WAR is his best since his 5.1 mark with the San Francisco Giants back in 2022. After what had transpired in 2023 and 2024, nobody thought he'd be able to rebound to this degree.
Yankees fans were certainly hard on the left-hander when he spiraled out of control (and dealt with injuries) in 2023 and then couldn't maintain much consistency in 2024, but Rodón has now won the crowd back.
