Some experts and mock drafts have the Pirates picking up Gerrit Cole in the MLB 2011 Draft. At this point I would have to disagree. After reviewing some stats of Gerrit Cole and Trevor Bauer, I have come to the conclusion that Bauer is a far better pitcher than Cole despite not having the fastball Cole has.
Here is Bauer stats:
| 9 | 2 | 1.43 | 12 | 6 | 100.2 | 49 | 30 | 154 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
W=9 L=2 ERA=1.43 GS=12 CG=6 IP=100.2 BB=30 SO=154 K\9 =13.8 (He also had 1 game where he SO 17)
Here is Cole stats:
W=5 L=5 ERA=3.25 GS=12 CG=3 IP=83 BB=16 SO=86 K\9=9.3
| 9 | 2 | 1.43 | 12 | 6 | 100.2 | 49 | 30 | 154 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
Should I feel differently?
