Cole Hamels is really pitching well so far this year for the Philadelphia Phillies
27-year old lefty starting pitcher Cole Hamels has been outstanding so far this year for the Phillies. He has pitched in 9 games (all starts) for the Phillies so far this year and he is 5-2 with a 2.92 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. He has only given up 49 hits and walked 13 batters in his first 61 2/3 innings this year while whiffing 64 batters. He has been the Phillies’ second best starting pitcher behind Roy Halladay so far this year. He will likely set new career highs in both wins (15) and strikeouts (211) in 2011 if he can just stay healthy.
