Between now and opening day we are going to do a deep dive Statcast breakdown on the New York Yankees’ rotation options. First up: Jonathan Loaisiga
The man known as Jonny Lasagna was acquired by the Yankees before the 2016 season after being released by the Giants. He arrived in the big leagues in May 2018 with tantalizing stuff, but has always been held back by control problems, and more importantly injuries. Since being acquired in 2016, Loaisiga has been placed on the IL five times with various injuries including last season’s shoulder issues. This year, he was part of the fifth starter competition in Spring Training and is in the mix to play a large role in this shortened season.
