The Yankees aim for a winning streak as rookie Cam Schlittler makes his major league debut against fellow rookie Logan Evans. Schlittler, the No. 2 prospect, replaces injured Clarke Schmidt. He was a seventh-round pick in 2022 and known for a four-seamer that can reach 99 mph. Meanwhile, Evans, starting his ninth game, has a solid 2.96 ERA but faces challenges with hard contact and low strikeouts. This matchup could be pivotal in the Yankees' ongoing tough season as they search for stability.
Cam Schlittler, the Yankees' No. 2 prospect, will take the spot of the injured Clarke Schmidt in the rotation for the time being and will make his major league debut tonight.
Facing off against Schlittler is fellow rookie Logan Evans, making his first career start against the Yankees and ninth of his career.
Overall, the Ann Arbor native is off to a good start, pitching to a 2.96 ERA (125 ERA+) and 4.62 FIP in 45.2 innings.
His peripherals scream regression, but there's never a guarantee the regression comes tonight. He allows hard contact, doesn't get many chases or whiffs, and doesn't put the ball on the ground.
