The Yankees' latest bullpen addition, Angel Chivilli, brings a high-velocity fastball and a deceptive changeup that could help reshape their pitching staff.Scranton TodayThe New York Yankees have recalled right-handed pitcher Angel Chivilli from their Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Chivilli, who has two seasons of MLB experience with the Colorado Rockies, has yet to allow a run in five games at the Triple-A level this season while striking out nine batters in 8.1 innings pitched.
Why it matters
The Yankees have been actively cycling through bullpen arms this season as they look to solidify their pitching staff. Chivilli's addition provides the team with a hard-throwing option who could potentially make an impact at the major league level.
The details
Chivilli averaged 97.1 mph on his fastball during his 2025 MLB action and ranked in the 80th percentile with a 29.7% whiff rate. He primarily throws a four-seam fastball, changeup, and slider, with his changeup featuring a 27.7-inch vertical drop. If Chivilli can harness his stuff, he could provide a boost to the Yankees' bullpen.
- On April 15, 2026, the Yankees announced the call-up of Chivilli prior to their game.
