Last year, I did a little bit of a dive into which pitching prospects in the Yankees’ system were well-suited to become the next homegrown relief ace. The list included Luis Medina, Luis Gil, and Greg Weissert. Medina is now in Oakland, as he was one of the prospects sent away at the trade deadline for Frankie Montas. Gil underwent Tommy John surgery and we didn’t get to see how he could contribute to the 2022 team. Weissert, however, dominated with Triple-A Scranton by striking 36.8 percent of the batters he faced while limiting the home run ball.
Who will be the next homegrown relief ace for the Yankees in 2023?
