Cole on Verge of Draft Record | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Gerrit Cole is about to etch his name in baseball history—his 161st win would tie Mike Moore for most wins by a first-overall draft pick. Drafted 1 in 2011, Cole’s 13-year career has been nothing short of dominant: 161-87, with playoff runs, Cy Young glory, and a transformative impact on every team he’s played for—including the Pirates, who broke their 20-year losing streak with him but now struggle without him. The trade that sent him to Houston in 2018 proved monumental: Cole’s brilliance overshadowed the Pirates’ disappointing return on their young prospects. Tonight’s game could cement his legacy as one of the game’s all-time greats. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
