Weekly Check In: Johnny Barbato

Johnny Barbato made the New York Yankees out of spring training this year and pitched so well out of Joe Girardi's bullpen that he was donned the Yankees "secret weapon" by certain members of the media that cover the Yankees. A few rocky appearances later, rather than being given a long enough leash to figure it out at the Major League level like every other team would allow, Barbato was sent back down to Triple-A to "find his slider."

Has Barbato found it? Let's see.
