Why Yankees’ young starter could flourish with brand-new pitch

Cam Schlittler didn’t find himself on any top 30 lists for the Yankees‘ organization entering the 2024 season, as the 2022 7th Round Pick was considered nothing more than an afterthought on their High-A roster.

The Hudson Valley Renegades have become a hotbed for pitching development, with some of the team’s best prospects coming through there as a pitcher, and they’ve seemed to strike gold again with Schlittler. A big right-hander with a good fastball and even better breaking balls, he’s added a splitter to his repertoire that could directly address his biggest problem as a prospect.
