Yanks: Severino Pitches
Anyway, what he showed was 95 and a very good slider and backdoor slider. Easy pitchability. Didn't notice any changeups, but it's hard to without the velo given on each pitch. The only reason I know he hit 95 was that the announcer said he did.
We'll see how he progresses. The swing and miss stuff is real, and breaking bats is always a good sign.

When he's ready, he has to start in NY, no matter what. If he struggles, bfd. And NO F'ING time in the pen like they have done with almost all their starting pitching prospects.
I think that messing with Hughes' ability to consistently build up arm strength and to get a feel for all his pitches was a major reason why they f'd him up.
Hughes stopped dropping and driving and that's where his velo and groundball tendencies went.
I don't think it's the result of one factor.
He became an arm thrower, instead of using his lower body. He was much more erect and that's when the flyballs started.
It was his fault and not the Yankees' fault, in that case.
They haven't done enough to have earned the benefit of the doubt in development.
It was plain to anyone who saw him pitch before and after his leg injuries.
Then they should have found a way to fix it because they are worse off without him.
I agree, they should have, but he would just go back to arm throwing. Not every player does what he's told.
