Luis Severino (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: If the NL east leading Yankees are going to make a post season run, they need pitching help, as they currently rank 20th in the majors with a 3.95 team ERA. It is very possible that the Yanks will be calling up this highly touted 21 year old very soon. This year in the minors Severino has a 2.45 ERA, 1.019 WHIP, 8.6 K/9, while allowing only 0.2 HR/9, and 2.5 BB/9. Considering that the Yankees are second in MLB in total runs scored, Severino will have plenty of run support for win potential if he dominates in New York like he has dominated every level of the minor leagues. In a deeper league, Severino is a sneaky prospect grab for a fantasy baseball manager looking for some new life in their rotation.
