The New York Yankees have a knack for identifying unsung bullpen talents, leveraging their skills to bring value to the mound. While securing starting pitchers who can instantly make an impact has been a challenge, Luke Weaver’s recent performance is a promising exception.
Luke Weaver, 30, a former first-round draft pick, joined the Yankees’ ranks after being claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners. His journey this year saw him taking the field 21 times with Cincinnati, recording a 6.87 ERA, and later posting a 6.08 ERA in his five games with Seattle.
Despite these figures, Weaver has flourished since his transition to the Yankees.
