New York Yankees Editorial: Questions for Yankees Pitching Staff in Second Half

Can They Improve?

The Yankees have two pitchers that need to better; CC Sabathia and Nathan Eovaldi. Sabathia has been one of the worst starters in the American League.  If CC Sabathia can improve, and be a decent pitcher the New York Yankees becomes a much stronger starting rotation. The Yankees want to improve their starting rotation, but do not want to give up the prospects to get a pitcher. The Yankees best option would be for Sabathia to improve, and the Yankees keep their prospects, but who knows what Sabathia will give the Yankees in the second half.

The other starting pitcher the Yankees need to be better is Nathan Eovaldi. He has the best stuff on the staff, and able to throw 100 mph. The problem is Nathan Eovaldi is a thrower and not a pitcher yet. He does not know how to locate his fastball. Eovaldi and the Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild have worked tirelessly to make Eovaldi the best pitcher he can become. If Larry Rothschild can make Eovaldi a better pitcher in the second half, it would make the rotation better, and help the Yankees keep their stud prospects like Aaron Judge.
