I can't understand how Gerrit Cole's K/9 went up significantly as soon as he left Pittsburgh.
Does anyone else think that the Pirates had Cole not pitch to his best ability on purpose so they could've potentially kept him at an affordable price?
Pitching coach who preached pitch-to-contact and 2 seamers galore
Edit: also I think a psychological element with Cole where he put too much pressure on himself as "the ace" here. Whereas in Houston he wasn't at the top of the food chain...at least not initially
