Yankees Top Prospect Luis Severino to be Called Up

By -
After not acquiring a pitcher at the trade deadline, the Yankees made a move internally as the team announced their top prospect Luis Severino would be called up. Severino’s debut has been highly anticipated as he’s quickly risen to the no. 16 prospect in the game according to MLB.com.

Severino has mowed down hitters at every level in the minor leagues. After going 6-5 with a 2.46 ERA in 2014 across single-A and double-A, Severino has been even better in 2015. Severino has gone 9-2 with an ERA of 2.45 in double-A Trenton and triple-A Scranton combined.

Since being called up to triple-A, Severino has gone 7-0 with a 1.91 ERA with the RailRiders with 50 strikeouts and 17 walks in 61.1 innings pitched. His WHIP is a miniscule 0.93 and he hasn’t allowed a home run in triple-A.

Severino is just the first of a swarm of prospects that are making their way to the Bronx this year. We’ve already seen the bullpen and outfield revolving door that has allowed quite a few prospects to enjoy a brief stay in the Bronx. Aaron Judge may be a September call-up as the team’s no. 2 overall prospect and Rob Refsnyder will likely be called back up in the near future.

This is an exciting time for the New York Yankees as they appear to be playing for the future! Stay tuned for more call-ups!

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
