LA Angels: Four Free Agent Pitchers Improving Their Stock Most This Postseason

The LA Angels are watching the playoffs from home (again), giving them ample opportunity to watch some upcoming agents improve their stock in the postseason.

Obviously, the LA Angels focus will be on starting pitching, starting pitching, and starting pitching. Outside of the rotation, there is legitimate talent on this Angels team. If they can land an ace and mid-rotation arm this offseason, there is serious potential for a postseason push in 2020. These three names should be near the top of the Angels’ list, and are only helping themselves in the postseason.

Gerrit Cole

I mean…obviously. Gerrit Cole has been as dominant as he was throughout the regular season, perhaps even more. He has made three starts, taking the mound twice against the Rays and once against the Yankees so far. In 22.2 total innings, Cole has 32 strikeouts, 8 walks, and ten hits.

And he has allowed only one run.

That’s right, Gerrit Cole has allowed only one run in three postseason starts against two of the best offenses in the MLB. He has a 0.40 ERA as opponents are hitting .132 against him.

Cole has been as dominant as anyone has been in the postseason, and his next paycheck is only increasing with each start.

Give him the blank check, Arte.
