Major League Baseball announced on Monday that New York Yankees pitchers Gerrit Cole and Corey Kluber were top of the American League in the month of April and in last week, respectively. The two are major reasons why the Yanks have managed to bring their record back to .500 after falling to 6-11.
To be more specific, Cole was the AL’s pitcher of the month, while Kluber was the AL’s player of the week.
Cole has been the most dominant pitcher in the American League this season, and that includes an impressive group of hurlers, with Tyler Glasnow, Lucas Giolito, Shane Bieber, and others also in the junior circuit.
