Luis Severino hasn’t been able stay on the mound for more than 12 innings since 2018, and he’s back this year fully healthy, with all the fire and fury of an apocalyptic horseman. In two starts, his fastball velocity have averaged 97.6 miles per hour. Combined with a changeup that has been a weapon throughout his career and two breaking balls he can flip into the strike zone when needed, hitters haven’t been able to keep him at bay.
For Yankees fans, he will undoubtedly be the attraction to this game. Honestly, I couldn’t blame any Tigers fan for being privately excited to watch him throw.
