In short, he misses bats, minimizes damaging contact and keeps the ball down, the latter a wise thing considering his home park is homer heaven Yankee Stadium. Severino accomplished it with a much more aggressive approach last year -- he had the eighth-best first-pitch strike rate (65.1 percent) as well as the game's highest average fastball velocity (97.5 mph). Though he might not seem like a top-10 starter due to only one season's evidence, his skills support the selection."},"fullName":"Luis Severino","playerRater30DAY":2,"playerRater15DAY":4.5,"playerId":5766}
