New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Cam Schlittler, a seventh-round MLB draft pick not previously recognized as a top prospect, is quickly showing performance reminiscent of prime Gerrit Cole.
- Despite his impressive 2.55 ERA over 16 regular-season starts, caution is advised as similar early success has been seen in less notable pitchers like Dereck Rodríguez and Taylor Jungmann.
- Schlittler's rapid development includes adding a cutter reminiscent of Mariano Rivera's, throwing it at 94 mph alongside strong four-seam fastballs, sinkers, and improving breaking pitches.
- His progress suggests significant potential impact for both his career and the New York Yankees moving forward.
