New York Yankees Joel Sherman Joel Sherman’s 3 Things I Think: What stands out from Yankees’ pitching-fueled strong start By Joel Sherman Published April 1, 2026, 10:26 a.m. ET Joel Sherman dives into the positive trends from the Yankees' fast start. NY Post Joel Sherman dives into three encouraging trends from the Yankees’ 4-1 start following Tuesday’s 5-0 road win over the Mariners.
He starts with the pitching, which has been nothing short of brilliant in positing a league-best 0.61 ERA.
Max Fried has been the ace at the front of the rotation, with Tuesday’s seven shutout innings extending his stretch to 13 1/3 innings without allowing a run, while improving to 2-0.
The Yankees’ bullpen has also been outstanding to start the year, posting a 0.53 ERA across 17 innings.
