[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] After the team signed left-hander Carlos Rodon, former Yankee player Cameron Maybin (Cameron Maybin) talked about his thoughts on Rodon and the team's starting lineup on the "Yes Network" analysis program The perception of rotation.

Maybin said: "I think Luo Dong is a very special person. When he first came into the league, I played against him. Luo Dong's fastball has great speed, and he also has the ability to control the ball. The ability to hit the top of the strike zone, which is a pitch that looks great to hitters but doesn't do much. He's a pitcher with the ability to shut down the line of play, which I think is what the Yankees need right now."

In addition, Mebin also talked about what he thinks is the key figure in the Yankees pitching rotation this season: "I think Frankie Montas is the most underrated player in the entire rotation, if he can stay healthy in the new season It will be a big surprise in the rotation. In addition to Montas, Luis Severino's state is also very important. Although he has not yet met the expectations of the outside world, if he can stabilize in the rotation In terms of contribution, Severino is definitely the one who can maintain the depth of the Yankees rotation."

After the Yankees signed Luo Dong, the outside world expects him and Cole (Gerrit Cole) to become the double ace of the team's rotation. If he can really perform as well in New York as he said last year, then the Yankees The pitching corps will have a good chance of being one of the top pitching rotations in the league.
