Hey!

0:20.0

Hello and welcome to another episode of Talking Yanks brought to you by draft kings we are doing another player,

0:28.0

Profile and projection and this time it's a dull episode. We're talking about Nick Nelson and Johnny

0:36.0

Leweiss the guy. One of these guys is from the United States and other guys from

0:43.6

Nicaragua. Let's go to Moe for the stats Moe.

0:48.1

Johnny Leweiss the guy has joined us all the way from Nicaragua to pitch for the Yankees for the past couple seasons.

0:54.1

All of the armed talent in the world haven't quite seen the results even though the Yankees use them like they have.

1:00.1

Let you moe!

1:02.1

Two guys that I think are going to be in the same ish repertoire.

1:12.1

Then yeah I mean I did a lot of research. I pulled up a tweet I'm starting with Leweiss again.

1:18.1

So that if for anyone back up back up go to the beginning both think these guys are going to be back up bullpen guys

1:24.1

Ask to go multiple innings with hopes that they can show themselves to become one in in guys and get big outs in the playoffs.

2:12.1

I like Johnny Leweiss to get stuff and they love his fastball Jake and it sucks.

2:19.1

He is a spin rate guy where he gets 23 hundred spins on his four same 24 is where you start getting very impressed right.

2:30.1

So they think that but he just can't I don't know he can't repeat his delivery can't hit spots I mean it's not really a good pitch.

2:38.1

Oh coming in hot yeah I mean in 2019 had a three 54 batting average against a seven twenty nine slugging against his fast this forcing fastball.

2:48.1

Last year it they was got better short in season but they ticked up his sinker last year in hopes that that would help the four seamer perform better instead he had two fastballs.
