Yankees’ Gerrit Cole Confesses This About Red Sox’s Rafael Devers
Devers has eight career homers off of Cole
Rafael Devers is a superstar for the Boston Red Sox and performs at a high level against some of the best pitchers in the big leagues.
Nobody knows that better than New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole.
Devers has hit .333 (13-for-39) with eight home runs and 18 RBIs and 38 total bases in his career against the Yankees ace. The Red Sox slugger slapped pitches out of the zone and consistently baffled Cole, including in their most recent meeting at Yankee Stadium in July.
During a press conference on Hispanic Heritage Day, Cole was asked which Latin hitter did the most damage. His answer?
“Rafael Devers,” Cole told reporters, per SNY.
The Dominican-born Devers is hitting .281 with 28 home runs and a .900 OPS for the Red Sox during the 2024 season. The stars will get their next chance to face each other on Saturday at Yankee Stadium when the 2023 Cy Young winner gets the ball for New York.
