Schlittler’s Rise Shakes Yankees Rotation | New York Yankees News

Cam Schlittler’s scorching-hot season is forcing the Yankees to rethink their postseason rotation—after a gem against the Rockies (7 IP, 1R, 3H, 10K, 0BB) in Aaron Judge’s return game, he’s now leading the league with a 2.01 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 220 Ks in 178 innings, while setting a team record for starts with one run or fewer. Manager Aaron Boone is already calling him “the best pitcher in the league,” outpacing even Max Fried in key stats this year. With Fried still rehabbing from elbow surgery and carrying a hefty contract, the Yankees may be tempted to open the playoffs with Schlittler on the mound—setting him up for a potential Game Five if they survive. The decision isn’t final, but Schlittler has absolutely earned his place in the spotlight. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
