Scott Effross has pitched in 16 games for the New York Yankees. In 3 seasons. What do I even know about this man at this point?
He's at a 2.81 ERA across those games, but is that really a sample size worth celebrating? He's 30 years old, but under team control for forever, so I guess it's worth discussing?
Another sinker, slider guy. He's got good stuff, don't get me wrong, he's just one of those 'ghost' Yankees at this point. Reminds me of, what's that guys name? Ben Rortvedt. Quick number crunch and Ben actually played in 2x the number of games as Scott here. Another 'ghost' Yankee.
Anyway, Effross pitched in 3.1 innings for the Yankees in 2024 and gave up this 2-run homer to Jordan Walker, which kinda soiled any chance at this being a positive data look. That said, this pitch HUNG:
Not too much to really say here, he could have a solid season and be a contributor, but he could also get hurt again and fall back off the radar. I know I haven't said a single positive word so far, but I do think I actually like his stuff to be a mid-leverage arm. Looking at his career splits, he's a bit of a lefty neutralizer, so maybe that's the angle here as well.
Floor: hurt and/or off the Yankees, stuck hurt and lingering in AAAA
Ceiling: solid mid-to-high leverage contributor for the Yankees.
