Gerrit Cole – New York Yankees, $50 Million Net Worth
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
Pitcher Gerrit Cole’s most recent contract was groundbreaking in a number of different ways. How did he earned it, you ask? Well, by being one of the best pitchers on the planet, especially in 2019. Cole stuck out a league-high 326 batters, set a single-season record with nine straight 10-strikeout games, and didn’t lose a regular-season game.
After that, Cole went 16-0 with the Astros, going 20-2 in his starts. What’s more, he had a 1.78 ERA and a .171 opponents’ batting average, while striking out 226 batters. No wonder Cole’s worth more than $50 million. Then, at the very tail end of 2019, the pitcher signed a massive $324 million contract with the New York Yankees, the largest contract in major league history for a pitcher.
