He's the best man for the job.
Gore is probably better... probably. He was a bigger prospect has both better control and more swings and misses and did in fact pitch better by several metrics last year. BUT
Gray ended up with the better season by results. He pitched more innings. He represents the team in other ways being the Roberto Clemente award nominee and involved with the Youth Baseball Academy. And Gore didn't pitch THAT much better.
Let Gray pitch and let's hope Gray figures out how to marry keeping the ball in the park with something else effective so he can really be an under 4.00 ERA pitcher.*
*but if he doesn't perhaps I can bring back "Jo-Jo See Ya" which is a win for me and I mean it affectionately now!

And Gore gets to start the home opener, so I think that’s fair all around.
I'm just ecstatic they didn't name Corbin...I just assumed it would be him by default
It's possible to have a Jo-Jo and a Yo-Yo on the same team this year. New season goal unlocked.
JG got better results in 2023, threw more starts/innings, has been with the team longer, and has been active in the team's outreach. Gore has the higher ceiling. Seems like we can all agree that this is the right call for right now.
