The Yankees’ starting rotation carried a lot of question marks coming into the 2021 season, but on the whole, it’s performed pretty well as a group (it certainly hasn’t been one of the team’s problems). Gerrit Cole has been one of the best pitchers in the American League, and Jordan Montgomery and Domingo Germán are both on pace to throw more than 150 innings at around a league-average ERA+. Even Jameson Taillon, who hasn’t pitched well, is healthy and on pace to make 30 starts this season.
Staff averages are somewhat swayed by Cole’s dominance and a phenomenal May from Corey Kluber, but still, Yankees starters rank in the top third in the AL in average game score, quality starts, ERA, and WHIP.
