Gerrit Cole and many of the Yankees’ pitchers gave PitchCom a thumbs up.
PitchCom is the new technological advancement sweeping through Major League Baseball. The system, designed to improve pace of play and eliminate sign stealing, allows pitchers and catchers to communicate through wearable devices and transmit signals at the press of a button.
Cole said on Friday he liked the system, save for a few predictable snafus that come with trying out new technologies. The Yankees’ manager also said he got mostly positive feedback from his pitchers who used it on Opening Day.
