The New York Yankees brass and fans alike have to be pleased with the pitching exhibited in the first two intrasquad games of summer camp. Both starting pitchers in the first scrimmage, J.A. Happ and Clarke Schmidt pitched two scoreless innings in a game that saw nearly no offense. Both Happ and Schmidt looked very sharp and in command. Pitchers Zack Britton, Adam Ottavino, Tommy Kahnle, Jonathan Holder, Chad Green, Dan Otero, Domingo Acevedo, Tyler Lyons, and Luis Avilán. all got to pitch in the game.
Happ and Schmidt’s scoreless innings bode well for the Yankees for two reasons.
