The Yankees rotation has struggled mightily at times this season. Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton, and J.A. Happ haven’t reached their potential, and when looking at the success of the likes of Sonny Gray and Lance Lynn it forces one to ponder whether there’s something wrong with the system. Baseball is all about adjustments, and being able to make them on the fly is what helps franchises, pitching coaches and pitchers maintain longevity and overall success in this league.
Last season in New York, Gray was a shell of what we saw in Oakland, and what we’re seeing this year in Cincinnati.
