New York Yankees Release Talented Young Pitcher

An intriguing name joining free agency.

The New York Yankees have released pitcher Nelvin Correa.

Per the NYY transactions page, the Hudson Valley Renegades have released RHP Nelvin Correa as of yesterday.

Don't really understand that move since he posted a 1.31 ERA in 48 IP between High-A HV & AA Somerset.

Correa made his Double-A debut this past season and proceeded to record an impressive 1.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 43 strikeouts across 48 innings, split between High-A and Double-A. He made 33 relief appearances, converted four saves and held a 2-2 record.

For his minor-league career, the twenty-five-year-old holds a strong 2.61 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 240 strikeouts over 261.2 innings of work. 

There should be plenty of teams interested in the young pitcher.
