Luis Severino's Breakout Is for Real This Time

Severino, the Yankees' electric righty, has been overpowering this season, and his stat profile is darn near spotless. Is he already one of the game's elite arms?

Having just one breakout season is soooo early 2000s.

Luis Severino already has a burst-onto-the-scene campaign on his resume. It came in 2015 as the then-21-year-old righty debuted with an electric 62 1/3 frames.

But Severino is doing it again. He's breaking out and taking his game to a truly elite level, reminding everyone why we were so excited about him two years ago.

After his initial 2015 emergence, big things were expected from Severino in 2016, which was supposed to be his first full season in the show.
