Nestor Cortes Jr.

The Yankees have had a slew of breakout bullpen arms over the last several seasons. Think guys like Adam Warren, Dellin Betances, Chad Green, Jonathan Holder (to some extent), and Tommy Kahnle. And that’s to say nothing of big acquisitions like Aroldis Chapman, Zach Britton, and Adam Ottavino.

But now there might be a new breakout reliever joining the ranks:

It’s a name nobody paid much attention to at the beginning of the season, and a name many fans probably STILL aren’t paying attention to, but Cortes has quietly been one of the more effective relievers in baseball over the past month.
