Pitching has carried the Yankees at the major league levels this season, but there have also been numerous impressive results coming out their minor league system. In the weeks since July 10th, the Yankees’ various minor league squads have thrown five no-hitters and carried at least two other no-hitters into the eighth inning.
It is an impressive run that shines a bright light on the work done by Yankees minor league pitching coordinator Sam Briend and his chief deputy Desi Druschel as they have built an impressive system that is getting results from top to bottom this year.
