Will Warren Strikes Out Four In Three Perfect Innings
3 hours agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher prospect Will Warren turned in his second consecutive strong outing to open the spring season, tossing three innings of perfect baseball in Wednesday's 7-0 Grapefruit League win over the Cardinals. The righty didn't allow a hit or a walk while striking out four batters, utilizing a four-pitch mix that included a nasty sweeper and a four-seamer that coaxed three whiffs on its own. The 25-year-old debuted with the Yankees last season, but the results weren't nearly as stellar, however, with a strong spring, he could be one of the first options to be called upon to fill a rotation spot if necessary. Despite a high ERA and WHIP last year at Triple-A, the 6-foot-2 hurler struck out 136 batters in 109 2/3 IP (11.16 K/9). As he's not expected to break camp with the club, the former eighth-rounder is not on the 2025 fantasy draft radar, but is certainly giving redraft managers reason to take notice.
