Why Carlos Rodon is Yankees’ X-factor for 2025 World Series run
ClutchPointsWednesday, July 16, 2025 at 3:47:48 AM
Carlos Rodon is emerging as a potential game-changer for the Yankees' 2025 World Series aspirations. The left-hander recently delivered a dominant 7.2 scoreless innings against the Cubs, showcasing his ability to anchor the rotation. Even with a big lead and high pitch count, Rodon fought to stay in the game—hinting at his competitive edge. If he stays healthy and maintains this form, he could be the difference-maker in a deep postseason push.
Editor’s Note: The Yankees' success often hinges on pitching, and Rodon’s resurgence is a big deal. After injuries and inconsistency plagued him early in his Yankees tenure, this hot streak suggests he’s finally settling in. For a team with championship ambitions, having a reliable ace behind Gerrit Cole could be the missing piece. Fans should watch Rodon closely—if he keeps dealing, October could get very interesting.
