Back in 2022, the Yankees used their fifth-round pick on right-handed reliever Eric Reyzelman out of LSU, hoping that his power fastball could lead the charge to a quick ascent through the Minor Leagues. Injuries have prevented Reyzelman from getting much pro action, but in 2024 he dominated his way to Double-A, and now he finds himself with the Yankees as a non-roster invite.
While it would certainly be aggressive to have him make the Major League bullpen without pitching in Triple-A, his high-octane repertoire and competitive nature might force the Yankees’ hand during the season.
