Episode 6 // Gerrit Cole

About this episode

Gerrit Cole discusses his rehab progress and strategies as a pitcher with host Adam Ottavino.

In this episode, my good friend Gerrit Cole and I discuss the progress of his rehab from Tommy John Surgery, as well as his excitement to get back on the mound in 2026. We watch him absolutely rake at the plate from his Pirates days, and dig in on how hitting helped him form some new strategies as a pitcher. This conversation has so much more as well, so I hope you guys enjoy!
