New York Yankees‘ pitcher Luis Medina may have lost a year of development on paper due to the coronavirus pandemic and the cancelation of the minor league campaign. However, he made strides at the team’s alternate training site and had a stellar season in Puerto Rico playing winter ball.
Medina, who pitched for Indios de Mayaguez at the Liga de Beisbol Profesional Roberto Clemente (LBPRC), was crowned this weekend as the Pitcher of the Year in the Caribbean circuit, a testimony of how dominant he was during his stint there.
The lanky right-hander, currently 21 years old, was a force to be reckoned with in Puerto Rico, and the Yankees are absolutely delighted with his performance.
