Spring is here, which means the first glimpses of the 2019 Yankees are coming into focus. After an up-and-down 2018 campaign, Luis Severino reported to camp and was looking sharp off the initial fastball pops into Gary Sanchez’ glove.
Though he looked like a Cy Young candidate in the first half of last season, Severino struggled mightily on the back nine. Theories swirled, suggesting that his inconsistencies came from him tipping pitches, but he found that a different villain was to blame: fried plantains.
Luis Severino made changes to his diet and training program in attempt to have more stamina 2nd half of the season.
