The 2016 season for New York Yankees starter Luis Severino could be described in one way: an utter disappointment.
Coming off a rookie season in which the righty went 5-3 with a 2.89 ERA, his title of “future ace” didn’t fit the production, as Sevy went 0-8 with an 8.50 ERA while serving up 11 home runs and 70 hits in 47.2 innings of work across the same amount of starts (11). Additionally, his K/9 ratio also declined from 8.1 to 7.7 while his opponent’s batting average spiked from .229 to .337 as his changeup disappeared from his arsenal.
