Jonathan Loaisiga has become one of the most divisive Yankees pitchers in recent memory. He’s young and recently graduated from prospect status, but his future role remains difficult to pinpoint. Still, the Yankees like what they see. It may be easy to forget, but Loaisiga pitched in parts of four playoff games last season!
The kid gloves are definitely off when it comes to handling Loaisiga; the Yankees expect him to help the team in 2020. But how can he best serve them? That’s a question the Bombers still haven’t figured out. He’s only pitched in 24 MLB games so far, starting eight of them and coming out of the bullpen for the other 16.
