Schlittler didn’t have near the same success he had against Boston in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series, even when adding in that two of the runs were unearned because of a Jazz Chisholm Jr. error. He threw plenty of strikes with no walks, but he may have been too in the zone for much of this outing and only struck out a pair. The 24-year-old rookie’s season ends in disappointment, but it’s definitely worth noting how good he was in the regular season and that dominant Game 3 outing against Boston. He’ll be someone worth drafting in all eligible formats this spring.

Schlittler draws the starting assignment in another pivotal moment for New York as he’ll attempt to force a winner-take-all Game 5. The 24-year-old rookie authored a masterful performance last week in his postseason debut, striking out 12 over eight shutout innings to send the division-rival Red Sox home for the winter.

The 24-year-old rookie scattered five hits on the night — all of them singles — and didn’t walk a batter. He fired 75 of 107 pitches for strikes, getting 18 whiffs and posting an elite 36 percent CSW. He’s the first rookie to strike out 10 or more batters in a postseason game since Livan Hernandez accomplished the feat in 1997. It’s also the first time that Schlittler has reached double-digit strikeouts at any professional level. He’s the first pitcher — not rookie — in postseason history to go at least eight innings with 12 or more strikeouts and zero walks. In addition, it’s the most strikeouts that any Yankees rookie has ever had in a postseason game. It was a legendary postseason debut, especially in an elimination game against the franchises biggest rival. The next time that he takes the ball will be against the Blue Jays in the American League Division Series, most likely in New York either in Game 3 or Game 4.

He’s the first pitcher — not rookie — in postseason history to go at least eight innings with 12 or more strikeouts and zero walks. In addition, it’s the most strikeouts that any Yankees’ rookie has ever had in a postseason game. It was an absolutely legendary postseason debut, especially in an elimination game against the Yankees’ biggest rival. The next time that he takes the ball will be against the Blue Jays in the American League Division Series, most likely in New York either in Game 3 or Game 4.

This isn’t much of a surprise after the rookie impressed in his 73 MLB innings, but it’s nice to have confirmation. Schlittler posted a 2.96 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 84/31 K/BB ratio in his 14 starts and would match up against either Brayan Bello or Lucas Giolito if he does have to make a start.

Schlittler limited Baltimore’s lineup to just a pair of hits and one walk over seven dominant frames at Yankee Stadium. The 24-year-old top pitching prospect finishes the regular season with a sparkling 2.96 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84/31 K/BB ratio across 73 innings over 14 starts. He’s done more than enough to show he deserves a spot in New York’s postseason rotation and he’ll be one of the most coveted young pitchers in fantasy drafts next spring.

Schlittler gave up three hits, walked one and struck out six. The 24-year-old right-hander bounced back after allowing four runs in his last start. Schlittler has struck out at least six batters in seven of his last eight starts. He has a 3.27 ERA and 75/30 K/BB ratio in 66 innings this year. Schlittler is lined up to face the Orioles at home next weekend.

The 24-year-old hurler struggled with his command in this one, issuing five free passes while punching out six opposing hitters. Schlittler had allowed just one run through the first four innings, but the Twins got to him in the fifth as James Outman crushed at two-run homer and another run scored on a wild pitch. Schlittler got 11 whiffs on 89 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 28 percent. On the season, he now holds a 3.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 69/29 K/BB ratio over 60 2/3 innings through his first 12 starts on the season. He’ll look to get back in the win column when he takes on the Orioles in Baltimore on Sunday.

Schlittler scattered five hits and a pair of walks on the evening. Coming off of the worst start of his career — where he gave up four runs on five hits and a pair of walks over 1 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays — the 24-year-old right-hander bounced back in a big way with an impressive performance against the Tigers. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single by Dillon Dingler in the second inning. He got 13 whiffs on 95 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll carry a 3.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 63/24 K/BB ratio (56 innings) into Tuesday’s showdown against the Twins in Minneapolis.

After retiring the first two batters of the game, Schlittler let the next five reach base and Toronto put up three runs in the process. He was erratic to start the second too with a walk and hit batsman and wound up being yanked in favor of Ryan Yarbrough when the left-handed Daulton Varsho came to the plate. These results are much worse than how he pitched: Schlittler was mostly hitting his spots and forced 10 swings-and-misses in this abbreviated outing. He just couldn’t stop bad situations from spiraling and showed some frustration for the first time in a while. This was a game to flush and forget about. He’s scheduled to face the Tigers at home next time out.

Schlittler got hit on his pitching forearm by a hard shot from Brooks Baldwin in the fourth, but he was able to continue after a couple of warmup pitches. He was in line for the win after the Yankees took a 2-1 lead in the top of the seventh, but Devin Williams gave up an equalizer during the bottom of the inning. Schlittler has allowed only two runs over his last five starts, and he has a 2.61 ERA and a 54/20 K/BB in 48 1/3 innings overall. He’ll face the Jays next.

Schlittler gave up four hard-hit balls, all of which produced singles. The other seven balls in play against him ranged from 55-85 mph and resulted in eight outs. Schlittler actually hit 100.6 mph on the gun on a strikeout of James Wood in the first, though his next hardest pitch was 99.1 mph. Schlittler has pitched scoreless ball in two straight starts, and he’s now 2-2 with a 2.76 ERA through eight big-league outings. He’ll be a fine play in mixed leagues with a start against the White Sox coming up.

This was hands down the best start of Schlittler’s career. He took a perfect game into the seventh inning and simply overpowered the Rays hitters with upper-90s fastballs in the zone. Two-thirds of all the pitches he threw were four-seam fastballs and they were lively. Also, this was the first time his curveball was able to miss bats at the big league level and he located it well low and below the zone. He has the stuff to be an impact pitcher down the stretch if he can sustain that high velocity and keep this command. He’s scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Nationals and White Sox.

Schlittler retired every batter he faced during his first trip around the Twins’ lineup and looked dominant doing so, getting up near 100 mph and breaking off some nasty sliders. Then, he walked Trevor Larnach to lead-off the fourth and he eventually came around to score. That was all Schlittler would give up though as he sustained upper-90s heat for his entire start and found the most consistency with his curveball that he has any start in the big leagues. He needs that pitch to get left-handers out and tonight he was able to do so. He’s scheduled to face the Rays next time out.

Schlittler relied heavily on his fastball here, throwing it 61% of the time overall and a whopping 78% against the Astros’ two left-handed batters, Jesús Sánchez and Taylor Trammell. That’s because he simply doesn’t have another option for them. The only other pitch he can throw against lefties is his curveball, but almost every one he threw here floated above or around the zone without any real bite. His fastball and slider are lethal against righties, but he will continue to have these uneven outings until there’s a true second option for the lefties. He’s scheduled to face the Twins at home next time out.

The runs came on homers from former Yankees prospect Agustín Ramírez. Schlitter allowed four hits, walked two and struck out six in a solid showing. The Yankees committed to the 24-year-old on Friday, when they made the call to release Marcus Stroman, and while they could always replace him with Allan Winans if needed, that’s definitely not the plan. Schlitter will likely make his next start Friday against the Astros.

He also walked four on the day while striking out five and throwing 58 of his 86 pitches for strikes. The rookie demonstrated plenty of swing-and-miss upside with a 35 percent whiff rate and 30 percent CSW on the day. He threw his four-seam fastball 62 percent of the time but earned only seven called strikes and had just a 47 percent zone rate. If he’s going to be that four-seam-heavy, he’ll need to show better command of the offering to be trusted in fantasy leagues. He may also lose his spot in the rotation with Luis Gil set to return this weekend.

Schlitter experienced biceps soreness last week, but the Yankees cleared him to pitch today. His velocity was down some from his major league debut, but mostly on his breaking pitches; his slider and curve were down over two mph from his first outing, but his fastball was off by only 0.2 mph. He ended up allowing seven hits, walking three and striking out three tonight. It definitely wasn’t as promising of a showing as his debut, but it’s still encouraging that he could hold down the Jays without his best stuff. The Yankees could send him down with Luis Gil on the way back, but it seems more likely that he’ll get at least one more start next week against the Rays.

Schlittler, who completed a bullpen session on Saturday, has been officially cleared to take the ball after an MRI earlier this week didn’t reveal any structural damage in his upper right arm. The 24-year-old pitching prospect is worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats after striking out seven batters in his big-league debut against the Mariners earlier this month.

Boone added that Schlittler is likely to start at some point early next week against Toronto after being was unable to take the ball for Friday’s second-half opener against Atlanta due to upper-arm soreness. The 24-year-old struck out seven last Wednesday in his highly impressive big-league debut against the Mariners and is worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats. However, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status heading into next week’s three-game series against the Blue Jays.

When the Yankees found out that Max Fried (blister) couldn’t start on Friday they had planned for Schlitter to take the mound, but the 24-year-old hurler was dealing with soreness in his upper arm. Fortunately, a precautionary MRI exam came back clean and the expectation is that he’ll be able to make his scheduled start against the Blue Jays early next week.
