The New York Yankees might have uncovered a gem in 26-year-old right-hander Will Warren, who\u2019s blossoming into a force this season.<\/p>\n
Warren\u2019s story is easy to root for, especially considering how tough his MLB introduction was during last year\u2019s rocky debut.<\/p>\n
In 2024, he was rocked to the tune of a 10.32 ERA over his first 22.2 big-league innings, leaving fans questioning his long-term upside.<\/p>\n
But pitching is often a test of resilience, and Warren is proving that growth isn\u2019t always linear \u2014 it sometimes looks like a messy scribble.<\/p>\nCredit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Warren\u2019s turnaround is gaining serious traction<\/h2>\n
This season, Warren has settled into a groove, carrying a 4.37 ERA over 80.1 innings with a stellar 103 strikeouts to his name.<\/p>\n
That strikeout total ranks him in the 88th percentile across baseball, showcasing his swing-and-miss stuff that\u2019s only gaining sharper edges.<\/p>\n
In June, Warren\u2019s confidence has taken a noticeable leap, evident in his 2.86 ERA across 28.1 innings this month alone.<\/p>\n
Facing the Oakland Athletics on Friday, Warren allowed just two hits and struck out seven over five strong frames before handing it off.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s clear he\u2019s starting to trust his stuff more, working through jams and limiting damage in ways he couldn\u2019t last season.<\/p>\n
His fastball is leading the charge<\/h2>\n
What\u2019s helped Warren flip the script is a dominant four-seam fastball that\u2019s become the backbone of his arsenal.<\/p>\n
Hitters are batting just .182 against it, managing only a .291 slugging percentage, making it one of the more underrated pitches on the team.<\/p>\n
While his secondary offerings have shown inconsistency, they\u2019re trending in the right direction and complement his heater when he locates well.<\/p>\n
Pitching, much like cooking, is often about that perfect blend \u2014 and Warren\u2019s starting to mix his ingredients with more precision.<\/p>\n
If he can continue refining his slider and changeup, his potential jumps from mid-rotation arm to something even more tantalizing.<\/p>\nCredit: John Froschauer-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Why Warren\u2019s growth is so important for the Yankees<\/h2>\n
For a Yankees team eyeing a deep October run, internal pitching development is critical, especially given the heavy investments elsewhere on the roster.<\/p>\n
Warren gaining this kind of experience and confidence during the summer could pay massive dividends when the games matter most.<\/p>\n
Not every start will be sparkling, but his resilience on the mound is becoming more obvious \u2014 and that\u2019s arguably more important long term.<\/p>\n
The Yankees have always chased big-name arms, but seeing someone like Warren climb from a brutal rookie line to meaningful contributor is refreshing.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s gone from looking overwhelmed to pitching with a calm, almost surgical focus, which speaks volumes about his mental growth.<\/p>\n
Building momentum at the perfect time<\/h2>\n
The Yankees can only hope Warren keeps building on these positive outings as they push deeper into the season.<\/p>\n
They\u2019ll need all the arms they can get if they\u2019re serious about making noise in October, and Warren could be an unexpected X-factor \u2014 even if it means coming out of the bullpen.<\/p>\n
With a few more months of growth, there\u2019s a chance we look back at June as the turning point when Will Warren truly arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
