Luis Severino (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Luis Severino, the highly touted pitching prospect for the Yankees, made his major league debut on Wednesday and he did not disappoint. In fact, he was pretty spectacular, for both the Yankees and for fantasy baseball owners. He only threw five innings, but he also only gave up two hits, to go along with seven strikeouts and zero walks. A pretty good debut to say the least. He has a lot of upside, and is pitching for a good Yankees team, so at this point he should be added in just about any fantasy baseball league where he's still available. If you're looking to strengthen the back-end of your team's rotation down the home stretch, and have some mediocre starters taking up space, add Severino off the waiver wire and see how his next few games play out. He has the ability to be an impact arm down the stretch, and is slated to face a mediocre Indians offense in his next start.
