Following Gerrit Cole's injury, Max Fried has stepped up as the Yankees' ace with no competition for leadership in the rotation. Fans are heavily backing Carlos Rodón as the second-best starter, attributing this confidence to his recent performance, including a near-perfect game and outstanding ERA statistics. Rodón's consistent strikeout rates and recent adjustments, particularly to his changeup, have left fans optimistic about his potential moving forward. Overall, the team's pitching dynamics are under scrutiny as they seek reliable options behind Fried.
Fans emphatically responded in favor of Rodón, clearly won over by the scintillating run the left-hander has been on.
Rodón carried a perfect game into the sixth inning against the Orioles his last time out, and has a 0.95 ERA and .430 OPS allowed across his last three starts.
