Former Houston Astros ace Gerrit Cole had a dominating 2019 season where he led the American league in both strikeouts (326) and in ERA (2.50) as he recorded an even more impressive 20-5 record as he led Houston to a World Series appearance after winning the American League. Cole wore this Houston Astros road jersey during the 2019 season.
