Will Warren Strikes Out Four In Another Impressive Outing
2 months agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher prospect Will Warren turned in yet another impressive start in Tuesday's 12-3 Grapefruit League win over the Phillies, tossing three innings, allowing one earned run on one hit (a home run) while walking one and striking out four. It was the first earned run he's allowed this preseason over a total of eight innings pitched (1.13 ERA), yielding just two hits and two walks while striking out 11 batters. The righty is doing all the right things to earn a rotation spot this spring, especially with Luis Gil (lat) going down with injury, but right now, it is veteran Marcus Stroman penciled into the fifth rotation spot, not Warren. Stroman, on the other hand, hasn't been very good this spring but obviously has the edge in terms of experience. If the Yankees' second-ranked pitching prospect doesn't win the job this spring, look for the former eighth-round draft pick to be the first one called up when New York needs an arm. If he does win the job, Warren would be rosterable in many leagues, so keep close tabs on this competition.
