Overview

• Manager Aaron Boone called the 24-year-old "a future staple in our rotation" before Monday’s win over the Nationals.
• Schlittler delivered six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts, touched 100–101 mph, and ended his night with an inning-ending double play on his 96th pitch.
• Over his last five outings he has a 1.30 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings, trimming his season ERA to 2.76.
• The team kept him out of July 31 trade talks, reflecting how highly they value his role on an injury-hit staff.
• A seventh-round pick in 2022, he rose from Double-A in June to the majors in July, leveraging a near-98 mph fastball and a 12-to-6 curve that hitters have struggled to square up.
