He had a record of 14-5, an ERA of 3.69, in 148.2 innings pitched, struck out 120 batters, and had 7.3 SO\/9. Sabathia had a WAR of 2.8.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>CC Sabathia<\/strong>\u00a0signs with New York Yankees<\/h2>\n<p>This season marked the first time since 2013 that Sabathia had a double-digit win total. In 2013, Sabathia had 14 wins.<\/p>\n<p>Since the end of the 2012\u00a0season, Sabathia has dealt with multiple injuries. When the 2012 season ended, Sabathia underwent surgery to remove a bone spur. During the 2013 season, Sabathia saw his season shortened because of a strained hamstring. In 2014, he missed most of the season because of right knee inflammation and had to undergo microfracture surgery and there was a possibility\u00a0that his career could have been over. In 2015 and 2016 Sabathia&#8217;s knee bothered him once again and he had to have surgery on it at the end of 2016 once again but it was considered as a routine clean up.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia has had his pitching style change since the 2013 season. Sabathia used to have a lot of velocity on his pitches but since 2013 has relied mainly on being a control pitcher. Most recently this season, Sabathia cut back on the use of his four-seam fastball and used his sinker and cutter more often.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia has spent 17 seasons in the majors. He has spent eight seasons with the Cleveland Indians and 9 seasons with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/cleveland-indians\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Yankees<\/a>. He did spend half a season with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/milwaukee-brewers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Milwaukee\u00a0Brewer<\/a>s in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Sabathia has made 509 starts in his career, carries a record of 237-146, has an ERA of 3.70, he has pitched 38 complete games (12 shutouts), has thrown 3317.0 innings, and has 2,846 strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>The lefty starter is a six-time All-Star making it to the All-Star game in 2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2011, and 2012. He led MLB in wins during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Sabathia also won the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/y\/youngcy01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cy Young<\/a> award in 2007. He won the ALCS MVP during the 2009 season and also helped the Yankees win the World Series that year.
