Luis Severino (SP, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Just when you thought all the rookies who will have an impact in 2015 had been called up, the Yankees explained why they refused to make a deadline trade for pitching by calling up Luis Severino. Severino was the #1 prospect in the Yankees organization and has been spectacular at every stop in the minors. His latest outing at Triple-AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (6 IP, H, 10 Ks) was enough to convince the front office he's ready for the show.

What separates Severino from the rest of the rookie class is the lack of an impeding innings limit. Unlike rookie sensations Lance McCullers and Carlos Martinez, the Yankees have stated the plan is for Severino to be available for the stretch run.

Severino features a heavy fastball/changeup and mixes in a slider, with the heater averaging 95 MPH. He's got solid control of each pitch and can throw them for a strike in any count. We don't have enough data to give a full analysis on Severino, but based on the limited material it's safe to say he can make a huge impact for fantasy leagues (and the Yankees).

What's shocking is he's only 24% owned to this point. Perhaps it's the theory that rookie hitters are sexier adds, but I have no problem giving Severino a spin. His first start comes at home vs the Red Sox and if he excels, get ready for that ownership to soar. Grab a share before the tide does.
