Carlos Rodon, a starting pitcher for the 2023 New York Yankees, has struggled due to injuries and poor performance. Rodon has not had a great beginning to his time with the Yankees. On Friday, his final start of the year, he gave up eight runs to the Kansas City Royals without getting an out, as reported by Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

He will end the year with a horrific 6.85 ERA, according to Hoch’s projections.

Professionally, but not particularly favorably, MLB insider Jon Heyman weighed in on Rodon’s season.

“Some big-money stars struggle their first year in pinstripes, but few to the degree of Carlos Rodon,” Heyman said on X (previously Twitter).

One dedicated Yankees supporter elaborated on the team’s disastrous start.

In tonight’s game against Carlos Rodon and the Royals, there will be one walk, two home runs, one stolen base, and one hit by pitch. Indeed, Carlos Rodon had no strikeouts.

Not putting on the game” We refuse to wear our game face. “Life’s too short,” Talkin’ Jake of Jomboy Media said.

To quote a baseball fan: “I think Carlos Rodon just had one of the worst starts ever. I mean, it could be worse, right? One of the fans chipped in.

Rodon did not perform well today. If he can stay healthy, he’ll be able to get back on track as a starting pitcher in 2024.

Having said that, there is no doubt that his start against the Royals was a catastrophic failure. A season on the mound ended on a sour note, which was sad.
