"I can come back in June"

According to mlb nd ESPN on the 22nd (Korea time), Cole said, "I think I can return to the MLB mound in June."

For the first time since the spring training on the day, Cole displayed live pitching by setting up hitters and throwing balls as if they were in a real game. He threw 20 pitches and recorded a maximum speed of 96 mph (154.5 kph).

After pitching five bullpen sessions recently, he pitched smoothly on the day, signaling his return to the mound next month. "I think it's possible. I don't want to anticipate too much ahead of time. Things are going well, and we've made another big step forward," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Cole's return to the mound in June.토토사이트

Cole is one of the ace pitchers in MLB who has recorded 145 wins and 75 losses with a 3.17 ERA in 300 big league games. Last year, Cole won the Cy Young Award with 15 wins and four losses with a 2.63 ERA.

However, he felt elbow pain during spring training in March, and was out of the lineup. Fortunately, he has been rehabilitating to avoid surgery and is preparing to return to the mound.

Cole will play one or two more live pitching before returning to the big leagues after playing minor league rehabilitation games.

The Yankees, who are playing without an ace, are ranking first in the AL East (33 wins and 16 losses). If Cole returns after recovering his health, the team's run could be even more encouraging.
