Healthy Eric Reyzelman dreaming big and opening eyes after surprise Yankees breakout
NY Post
CLEARWATER, Fla. — Eric Reyzelman’s breakout season surprised even Eric Reyzelman.
Last year, the Yankees prospect was largely happy just to be back on a mound.
He had undergone Tommy John surgery as a freshman at the University of San Francisco.
He finished collegiately at LSU, where he just about threw only a fastball and rode that fastball to become a fifth-round pick of the Yankees in 2022.
He proceeded to appear in just nine games in his first two professional seasons because of more injury issues: Back pain was sourced to a cyst on his back that required a series of surgeries to fix.
He took the mound in 2024 as a forgotten prospect who finally was healthy and now was differently equipped: a one-pitch arsenal had expanded to three, having learned a slider and changeup while rehabbing.
