Luis Gil's hot start to the season that no one saw coming

Luis Gil has had a bit of an unpredictable start to the season, but it's been a very good one. Gil has arguably been a top-5 pitcher in baseball so far and has and will be carrying the Yankees starting rotation until their ace Gerrit Cole comes back. In this article, we will be breaking down his exceptional season and how it affects your team.

Luis Gil so far this season is 8-1, with a 1.82 ERA and a 0.923 WHIP, both are in the top percentile in the MLB as he leads the American League in ERA. He also leads the AL in ERA + with a 220 and H9 with only 3.9. Gil also has only given up 14 earned runs and 30 hits in 69.1 innings pitched this season. We would sit Luis Gil at second in the American League Cy Young, just behind Tarik Skubal of the Tigers.

In fantasy this season, Gil is the third best fantasy pitcher behind Ranger Suarez and Tarik Skubal, and he has an average of 17.1 fantasy points per game. Gil is only rostered in about 88% of leagues, so there is still a chance that you can go pick him up. Consistency has been the biggest key for Gil, as he has not had a negative point performance since April 26, so he's gone a month and a half without having a bad game. Either way, Luis Gil has been on a dominant stretch in the first two months of the season.
