Player Notes
| The 100th player to make his big league debut this season, German technically was signed by the Yankees as a minor league free agent on December 11, 2015, but he had already been with the organization thanks to the summer blockbuster trade the previous July. Though he had been designated for assignment after missing all of 2015 due to Tommy John surgery and was still rehabbing, and had several clubs interested in signing him, he re-upped with the Yankees. He missed the beginning of 2016 while still healing before returning to the mound and going 1-3 with a 3.08 ERA in 10 starts between Charleston (Class A) and Tampa (High A), striking out 38 and walking 11 while allowing 41 hits over 49 2/3 innings for a .225 BAA. Prior to his surgery, he had been one of the most dominant pitchers in the Marlins organization with a fastball in the middle 90s, changeup and breaking ball. In 2014, he led that system in ERA and was among the South Atlantic League leaders in ERA, walks per 9 and strikeouts per 9 as he went 9-3 with a 2.48 ERA in 25 starts at Greensboro (Class A), striking out 113 while walking just 25 in 123 1/3 innings and allowing 116 hits. He brings a career 2.57 ERA in 97 games into his MLB debut as well as a .230 BAA. |
