I tell you, the Yankees may have two pitchers (at least) who have been "outed" by this crackdown on substances: Cole and Chapman. Right now, they both look like frauds.
Yankees now at .500 and headed south, while Mets are heading north.

Chapman's almost certainly not cheating(While there is a small decline in spinrate in June and July, that's come with a corresponding drop in velocity. Plus he throws a splitter, which is well known as a pitch which depends on a low spinrate to be effective), as for Cole... outed? Hasn't him being one of the worst abusers of sticky stuff been an open secret since 2017?
