Luis Severino

About

Luis Severino signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent in December 2011 for $225,000, making his professional debut with the Dominican Summer League Yankees that year (4-2, 1.68 ERA, 45 strikeouts in 64⅓ innings). He progressed through Charleston RiverDogs (2013: 4-2, 2.45 ERA, 53 strikeouts in 44 innings), Tampa Yankees, and Trenton Thunder before making his MLB debut with New York in 2015. Severino became an All-Star in 2017 and 2018, finishing third in AL Cy Young voting in 2017 as one of baseball's elite pitchers before injuries derailed much of 2019-2021. After eight seasons with the Yankees, he signed with the New York Mets following the 2023 season and joined the Oakland Athletics after 2024. His experience rising from international signee to All-Star pitcher gives him deep insight into developing velocity, command, and the mental approach needed to succeed at baseball's highest level.
