Gerrit Cole
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
If recovery from Tommy John surgery proceeds as planned, Cole projects as a potential frontline starting pitcher capable of contributing at elite levels, though at age 34 realistic decline should be factored into expectations. Best-case scenario involves return to approximately 85-90% of pre-2024 peak ability, still constituting elite pitcher performance. Conservative management during initial return recommended given injury history. Most likely outcome involves solid #2-3 starter capable of consistent excellence, though transformative dominance comparable to 2023 Cy Young season unlikely given convergence of age and injury factors. Downside risk includes incomplete recovery or future structural issues given pre-surgery inflammation indicators.
