Five Yankees Rookies Who Will Have Big Roles In 2015

Rotation/Bullpen

Bryan Mitchell: After a strong showing in Triple-A, Mitchell joined the Yankees late in the season and was quite impressive. He posted a 2.45 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in 3 games (1 start).

In his one start, he held the Orioles to only two runs over five innings pitched.

His average fastball speed ranges from 91-94 miles per hour. He also features a cutter and a curveball.

If last season was any indication of what he can do, he certainly has a future in the Yankees’ rotation. However, he may not crack the rotation at the start of 2015.

Though he will likely wind up in the bullpen for part of 2015, he can make an occasional start if needed.
