Even though he turned only 24 in February, Luis Severino has been through an awful lot in his baseball career. He was a small bonus international signing who developed into a top prospect, had instant success at the MLB level in 2015, fell on his face and was demoted (to Triple-A and the bullpen) in 2016, and bounced back to become an ace in 2017. Lots of ups and downs in a short period of time.
This season Severino is showing last year’s success was no fluke. In fact, he’s been even better this year than he was last year.
