It’s been quite the journey this 2025 season for New York Yankees rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler.
Back on March 1, he started the Yankees’ spring training opener against the Astros, pitching 2.1 innings of one-run ball with three walks and strikeouts each. On Thursday night, he’ll take the mound at Yankee Stadium with the season on the line in the decisive Wild Card Game 3 against the rival Red Sox.
Somewhere in between, Schlittler turned in excellent performances in both the majors and minors. Posting a 2.82 ERA and 13.1 K/9 in 15 games (14 starts) across Double and Triple-A was a good start.
