Remember Luke Voit? Of course you do. When the Yankees traded the slugger to the San Diego Padres before the 2022 season, they received a young pitching prospect in return. His name is Justin Lange, and he happens to be opening eyes in the Yankees’ organization in 2023.
Lange produced one of the best pitching performances on the Yankees this year, no matter the level. On Sunday, he pitched five scoreless innings and struck out 10 hitters, allowing only two walks and three hits for the Low-A Tampa Tarpons.
That day, Lange earned an impressive 25 whiffs out of 53 swings.
