Many New York Yankees fans probably don’t know about Michael King. The 23-year-old was acquired from the Miami Marlins for international bonus pool money last offseason, and then let his arm do the talking.
King rocketed through New York’s minor league system in 2018, starting at High-A Tampa and finishing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He appeared in 25 games (24 starts) and went 11-5 with an eye-popping 1.79 ERA. King also posted a WHIP of 0.91 and struck out 152 hitters in 161.1 innings.
Now, per Dan Martin of the New York Post, the former Boston College star has his next goal set.
