Nestor Cortes, Luis Severino and Jameson Taillon Step Up
The New York Yankees rotation has been a major source of concern for the team in recent years, but with the emergence of Nestor Cortes, Luis Severino and Jameson Taillon, the rotation is finally starting to solidify.
Cortes has been a revelation for the Yankees this season, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 12 starts. The 27-year-old left-hander has shown excellent command of his fastball and changeup, and he has been able to keep hitters off balance with his deceptive delivery.
Severino has also been impressive in his return from Tommy John surgery, posting a 3.18 ERA in six starts. The 28-year-old right-hander has shown his old velocity and command, and he has been able to strike out batters at a high rate.
Taillon has been a solid addition to the Yankees rotation, posting a 3.69 ERA in 12 starts. The 30-year-old right-hander has shown good command of his fastball and slider, and he has been able to keep hitters from making hard contact.
The Yankees’ Rotation Depth
The Yankees’ rotation depth has also improved significantly this season.Domingo Germán, Clarke Schmidt and JP Sears have all shown the ability to step into the rotation and perform well. This depth will be crucial for the Yankees as they navigate the long and demanding regular season.
With Cortes, Severino and Taillon leading the way, and Germán, Schmidt and Sears providing depth, the Yankees’ rotation is finally starting to solidify. This is a major development for the team, and it will be a key factor in their success this season.
Kind regards,
