Yankees’ Gerrit Cole faces live hitters first time this spring; Aaron Boone says pitcher will be Opening Day starter (for now) Monday morning, when Gerrit Cole faced live hitters for the first time this spring, there was no fanfare, so he got to work.

Named Opening Day starter Cole was named the Yankees' Opening Day starter as expected Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cole would be the Opening Day starter for pretty much any team in the league, with the possible exception of the Yankees' local rivals. The righty should be in a close battle with Mets ace Jacob deGrom to be the first pitcher off the board in most fantasy drafts this year following three straight dominant seasons. He owns a 2.71 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 36.6 percent strikeout rate over that stretch.

Faces hitters Monday Cole tossed a 26-pitch live batting-practice session Monday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact With the Yankees' position players reporting to camp this week, Cole got the chance to face hitters for the first time this spring. The Yankees may limit Cole's use in the Grapefruit League slate to preserve his bullets for the regular season, but the right-hander should be ready to handle a normal workload by the time Opening Day rolls around. After a stellar debut season in pinstripes in 2020 (7-3 record, 2.84 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 94 strikeouts in 73 innings), Cole will likely be either the first or second pitcher off the board in most fantasy drafts this spring.
