NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Luis Severino is viewed by many as the Yankees’ ace, but he’s first to admit he didn’t pitch like one during the second half and playoffs last season.
“I had a great first half and then all that happened,” Severino said Monday from the team’s spring training facility in Tampa, Florida. “I know it’s just struggle for a little bit. I know the pitcher I am, I know I can come back. I know I can pitch well again.”
He better, because the stakes are just too high these days to show up for only half a season.
