Luis Severino has been out of this world during the 2018 season, including an appearance on the MLB All-Star team. The New York Yankees have found themselves a homegrown ace.
Severino hasn’t come this far just by practice. No, instead he had some unlikely mentors that just so happen to be former players from the Boston Red Sox.
According to Scott Miller of Bleacher Report, Severino spent some time learning alongside Pedro Martinez and David Ortiz starting back in 2016. Although both may be members of a rival organization, it clearly did some good for the development of this young gun.
