As we proceed into the 2023 baseball season, the New York Yankees had high hopes for starting pitcher Luis Severino to secure a significant role in their rotation. Regrettably, Severino’s performance has lacked consistency, displaying a worrying 7.49 ERA, 7.80 per nine, a 63.2% left on-base rate, a 39.5% ground ball rate, and a career high of 2.34 home runs allowed per nine across 57.2 innings.
Do the Yankees need to demote Luis Severino?
The Severino we’ve witnessed this season is starkly different; his pitches have lost their signature break, contributing to a steep decline in his efficiency.
