Schlittler vs Cole for Yankees Ace Spot | New York Yankees News

Cam Schlittler is dominating the mound for the Yankees, throwing eight shutout innings against the Angels with just one run and two hits — his stellar season ERA of 2.04 making him a serious Cy Young contender. With the Yankees locked into a playoff spot, manager Aaron Boone faces a tough call: start the young phenom Schlittler, who dazzled in last year’s postseason with 12 strikeouts and zero walks, or lean on veteran Gerrit Cole, whose 3.29 ERA and past Cy Young glory no longer match his former dominance. Schlittler’s poise and age make him the clear future, but Cole’s experience still looms large. Either way, it’s a luxury problem — the Yankees have depth, but this top-of-the-rotation battle is shaping up to be one of the most exciting storylines of October.
