In a year where the next man up mentality is prominent, one pitcher has stood out above the rest for the New York Yankees. That pitcher has been Domingo Germán.
In 2009, Domingo Germán was signed by the Marlins as an international free agent. Germán slowly gained steam as a touted prospect. He pitched in the 2014 All-Star Futures game as he was tearing up the minors with a 9-3 record and a 2.48 ERA. Germán was making a name for himself and becoming a rising star.
In December of 2014, the Bombers acquired Nathan Eovaldi to fill the void in the rotation.
