It’s time to add a new name to the list of people who think Luis Severino could be the ace of the Yankees’ pitching staff: Severino himself.
According to Brendan Kuty of NJ.com, the 21-year-old right-hander recently told the YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits he thinks he is ready to take over as the Bronx Bombers’ number one starting pitcher.
After making his Major League debut on Aug. 5, 2015, Severino posted a 5-3 record with a 2.89 ERA and 56 strikeouts.
For the most part, Severino certainly looks like he has all the tools to become the next top-of-the-line hurler for the Yankees.
