Carlos Rodon Stats: Can The Left-Hander Get Back to Previous Form?
Rodon's Strikeout Rate His Dropped in Injury-Plagued 2023
During last year’s off-season, the New York Yankees signed Carlos Rodon to a six-year deal worth 162 million dollars. Rodon was coming off an incredible year with the San Francisco Giants, finishing with a 2.88 ERA along with a WHIP of 1.03.
Rodon started 31 games and pitched in the most innings he had ever thrown in a season in the Major Leagues. Maybe that backfired.
Rodon landed on the Injured List to begin the year for the Yankees. He was shut down in spring training due to a forearm issue and started having back problems.
The Yankees have struggled to find consistency with their pitching. Only Gerritt Cole has given the Yankees quality starts consistently.
Rodon returned to the mound for the Yankees on July 7 against the Cubs. He threw 5.1 innings and allowed two runs. In his next start, he gave up six runs, and then in his most recent start, Rodon allowed six runs.
Will Rodon ever get back to being dominant? Below, we’ll break down those Carlos Rodon stats for 2023.
Rodon’s Achievements
Carlos Rodon is a two-time all-star in the MLB. He’s earned back-to-back appearances in 2021 and 2022 but missed most of the first half due to an injury this MLB season.
Rodon has also achieved 200+ strikeouts in a single season. He earned that feat in 2022 as well.
Rodon has always been consistent when given a large sample size in a season. In his rookie season with the White Sox, Rodon had a 3.75 ERA in 23 starts and 26 games. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, Rodon had a 4.18 ERA or better. However, in 2019 and 2020, Rodon threw only nine starts and pitched in 11 games. Rodon’s ERA was all over the place during that stretch.
But when healthy, Rodon earned a 2.37 ERA in 2021 with 24 starts. He’s among the few pitchers with back-to-back games with an ERA below 3 in 2021 and 2022. He also finished top three in an MLB stats category, such as strikeouts in 2022.
After that, he went to the Giants, threw a career-high 31 starts, and had a 2.88 ERA. He was peeking until he got injured with the Yankees.

What Happened to Carlos Rodon?
Carlos Rodon is 0-3 in three starts for the Yankees this season. He’s allowed a 7.36 ERA and has given up a WHIP of 1.43 in 14.2 innings pitched. Those Carlos Rodon stats are ugly to begin his tenure with the Yankees.
Rodon doesn’t look like himself, but he’s also not getting much run support from the offense.
Rodon has allowed a .232 ISO and wOBA of .340 against 65 batters this season. He’s allowing nearly 47% of fly balls and has only struck out 16.9% of batters faced. His hard contact rate has reached 55.6%, and he’s only pitching about 81 pitches per game.
Rodon might need next year’s spring training to get acclimated. However, Yankees fans aren’t going to be patient. They want to be near the top of the MLB Power Rankings.
Last season with the Giants, Rodon struck out 33.3% of batters and allowed a .106 ISO and wOBA of .256 against 711 batters. The Yankees and their fans would be happy if he could get anywhere close to those Carlos Rodon stats from last year.
His next start is Wednesday, July 26, against the New York Mets.
