The Curious Case of Dillon Tate. Before long there is going
to be a movie made with that exact title. The Texas Rangers took Dillon Tate in
the first round of the MLB First Year Players Draft and he has been a curious
case ever since. From his diminished velocity to the questions surrounding his
workout routine and work ethic you just don’t know what Dillon Tate is going to
come to the ballpark each and every day. The encouraging news is that he looked
much better for the Yankees than he did as a Rangers player and some of his
velocity returned because of it. Was he burned out? Unhappy? Who knows?
The Yankees wanted to see more ultimately so they send Tate
down to the Arizona Fall League with the Scottsdale Scorpions and this is what
he has given the club thus far. Sample size is small, keep that in mind, but
with the advanced talent down in the AFL I don’t see these stats as all that
bad personally.
Three games and four innings pitched of relief. Tate owns a 9.00 ERA with two home runs allowed.
