Following a 2014 season which saw him pitch across three levels, as high as Double-A Trenton, and finish 6-5 with a 2.47 ERA and 127 strikeouts across 113 IP, Luis Severino earned the label as the New York Yankees top prospect from many. On Thursday, Severino was promoted to Triple-A Scranton, leading many to speculate, is his promotion to the big leagues soon to follow?
Severino, who pitched in last year’s All-Star Futures Game, drew praises from owner Hal Steinbrenner over the winter, who expects Severino to have an impact in the Bronx this season.
