The New York Yankees, despite their current pitching turmoil, particularly in the starting rotation, received a ray of hope in their prospect development this past Wednesday.
The team advanced Will Warren, a promising 23-year-old pitcher, from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton this week, following his impressive start to the 2023 season.
In his 29.1 innings with Somerset this year, Warren boasts a 2.45 ERA, 2.62 xFIP, 12 strikeouts per nine, and a ground ball rate of 47.8%. While he hasn’t conceded a home run this year, his somewhat high 3.68 walk rate presents an opportunity for improvement.
