BRONX, N.Y. — The New York Yankees seemingly can’t catch a break. The latest news on Luis Severino and his forearm being case in point.
Severino made his Bronx debut in 2015 but he essentially has two full seasons under his belt in the bigs. Not to go into full overreaction mode but this seems to be a trend with homegrown Yankee pitchers breaking into the bigs after Andy Pettitte in 1995.
Guys either translate better the bullpen, break down or wash out and it’s baffling.
Chien-Ming Wang had two-plus solid seasons and was second in AL Cy Young voting in 2006.
