Weekly Check In: Luis Severino

Luis Severino has made three starts now in Triple-A this season as he continues his march towards the major leagues and comes into this weekly check in fresh off his first victory with Scranton. If you use the past as a possibly precursor to the future you see that Severino may not be long for this final minor league affiliate. Between the 2014 and 2015 seasons Severino spent just 63 IP with the Trenton Thunder after spending just 20.1 innings in High-A Tampa with the Tampa Yankees. Severino spent 85.1 IP in Charleston and just 90.2 IP with the Yankees 1 Dominican Summer and Gulf Coast Yankees teams.

If the Yankees are truly leading Severino in the fast track through the minor leagues, and it sure looks like it with a 21 year old with just four seasons of experience in Triple-A, then we may see Severino as a September call up this season. Let's not get ahead of ourselves though as it's just June, not September, but if he keeps up with these stat lines he'll be there no doubt.
