New York Yankees' Next All-Star is Blatantly Obvious
The New York Yankees' next All-Star is clear as day.
The New York Yankees improved to 2-0 with their win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday afternoon, once again shutting out their opponent. The Yankees have yet to allow a run thus far in 2026. First, Max Fried dominated the Giants' lineup Wednesday evening.
Then, on Friday, Schlittler absolutely ravaged it. Schlittler entered the game on a pitch count due to a back issue he dealt with in Spring Training. Aaron Boone already stated that the right-hander wouldn't be going more than 70 pitches, and he didn't even get to throw that many.
And not because Schlittler pitched poorly. Quite the contrary, in fact. It was actually because the right-hander was so efficient.
Schlittler went 5. 1 innings against San Francisco, allowing just one hit while racking up eight strikeouts. He threw a grand total of 68 pitches and didn't walk a single batter.
