Yankees farmhand Michael King was on a straight shot for the Bronx.
Following an incredible 2018, where the now 23-year-old eclipsed three levels of minor league ball (Tampa to Scranton) — King pitched to a combined record of 11-5 with a 1.79 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, .202 BAA and 152:29 K:BB ratio in 161.1 innings.
Suffice to say; the Yanks have high hopes for the player they acquired from the Marlins in early 2018 for first baseman Garrett Cooper and pitcher Caleb Smith.
However, during an early Spring Training bullpen session, King felt pain in his right elbow.
