The New York Yankees are a bit thin on starting pitching
depth right now, especially at the upper tiers of their farm system, but one of
their best took a step forward this week with a promotion from Low-A Charleston
Riverdogs to High-A Tampa with the Tampa Yankees. His name is Domingo Acevedo
and he may be the best Yankees pitching prospect to ever come out of the farm
during my lifetime when all the dust has settled and that’s saying something.
Acevedo battled lower leg injuries earlier in the season and
was placed on the MiLB 7-day DL but has since returned and picked up right
where he left off. The Yankees have shown a willingness lately to be very
aggressive with their prospects, namely their starting pitching, so it is not
out of the realm of possibilities that Acevedo finishes the season in Trenton
with a strong push in the Florida State League.
Acevedo comes with Dellin Betances comps and a 103 MPH
fastball. What is not to love and what is not to get excited about? Bring on
the man we call “Ace” here on the blog.
