Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is no longer in charge of directing Dellin Betances’ pitch selection in late inning situations, but the ex-Yankee slugger still holds his former teammate in high regard.
“Dellin was our MVP I felt like for three straight years,’’ McCann told Kevin Kernan of the New York Post on Sunday.
