TOP five AL Cy Young contenders for the 2023 season!! (Feat. Shohei Ohtani, Gerrit Cole and MORE!)

One to count on Bruhan who was struck out twice now three times. Attacking. Locked in. Swing and a miss got him a one tooth listen to the hand for Garrett Cole as he comes off the mound. Swing and a miss. Fourteen strikeouts for Cole. And I absolutely love this by Garrett Cole this is what I want to see from the Yankees ace right here he's saying you know what I'm going to get you with my best pitch my Brandon brother reaching back good old Louisiana Bayou ball and a little bit of a yell at the end of it just to let the twins dugout know I am Garrett Cole and I am here. Will Brennan now as he did last night will come off the bench to pinch hit maybe his last but it gets them out of the inning. He's given them seven and he walks off with a 4 2 lead two strikeouts in the inning eight for the game. There aren't many tactically games that offer a little more than your typical level of excitement but I'd say that Jacob DeGrom making his Cactus League debut qualifies. No doubt about it. One to swing and a miss he gets Raleigh on a curveball one to swing and a miss fastball and ninety nine thrown right by him and in DeGrom's first inning as a ranger in Cactus League play he collects a couple of strikeouts puts up a zero there's a swing and a miss and a fastball ninety nine miles per hour from DeGrom his third strikeout of the afternoon and it's a one two three second inning still holding now the two two runner goes pitches down the middle strike three called and the inning is done so Kelnick goes down looking oh and to strike three he's struck out a third time that's even more difficult. There's that split change. I mean it's really worked well Santander away from first here's the pitch and a check swing he went strikeout number 13 for Dylan Seas another new career high just gas right by Nick Gordon a little bit up in a regular season game to first and caught by a Bray you Dylan Seas three outs away from a no hitter strike three swinging a complete game one hit shutout for Dylan Seas and he got a boy an awkward swing at a fastball way inside and Bogart strikes out one down got it swung over the top of a slider strikeout number six for Manoa and he got a fastball right down the middle. Siri took three big round swings at that slider and that's the first out of the six inning. If you're out there and you read that and you see what he has done the first two you have to spin a breaking ball. Don't even have it come close to the plate. You'll get him to swing. Capper I know I missed it but shot from first base side and what a stretch by a terrific play and Manoa is pumped. He gets out of the inning as he strands another base runner in scoring position and Manoa as he did went around at a fastball up and out of the zone two down and he got up to the outside corner third strikeout of the night the two two to Casas and a slider at the knees for strike three Cole. It is in there a career high thirteen strikeouts for Shohei Ohtani. How about a little Baker's does show a absolutely outstanding patio show hey the punch out tonight. We're loving it. Then a one two to Frazier. There's a ground ball Renifo to Soto over the first. Love that reaction show a Ohtani get the defense behind him said you go to that next level when Ohtani is on the mound the defense ten outs on the ground for Shohei Ohtani and it's a guy who said no to. He's for Ohtani Wickett slider and Renifo on the backhand long throw and he got him. What a night for Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani Ichiba.
