Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough is dominating. But why does he throw like that?
Ryan Yarbrough doesn't know why he started doing it, but it feels good. The New York Yankees' 6-foot-5 pitcher begins his delivery by raising his right leg high. But as he pushes toward home plate, he does something strange. He drops his left arm and releases the ball like he's much shorter than he is. It's like he's skipping a rock across the surface of a pond. Advertisement In his mind, he's doing nothing different than anyone else. 'It is weird that I feel like I'm throwing straight over the top when in all actuality, it's not,' he said recently. What's the point of all that height if you're not going to use it? Well, Yarbrough does. And it's one of the biggest reasons he's been a surprise in a season filled with them for the first-place Yankees. Yarbrough's six-inning, one-run performance in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers stopped the team that beat the Yankees in last year's World Series from sweeping them. It also dropped the 33-year-old's ERA to 2.08 over five starts since he left the bullpen to join the rotation May 3. When the Yankees tapped Yarbrough to make the switch, they weren't asking him for much. They just needed him to do better than Carlos Carrasco, whom he was replacing as the fifth starter. Through eight games (six starts), Carrasco had a 5.91 ERA. The bar was low. Yarbrough has hurdled it. 'It's been fun watching him toe the slab for us,' manager Aaron Boone said. Ryan Yarbrough, Nasty 77mph Changeup. 👌 — Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) June 1, 2025 Yarbrough has been among the best pitchers in baseball in several ways. Hitters aren't squaring him up. His 84.1 mph average exit velocity and his 27.3 percent hit rate put him in the 99th percentile and the 98th percentile, respectively, among all pitchers. Opponents are barreling just 3.6 percent of his pitches, placing him in the 94th percentile in that category. His time in the bullpen was solid, too. Though he had a 4.11 ERA in eight appearances, that figure was inflated by a four-run blowup in two-thirds of an inning. And Yarbrough has done it in pretty much the same way he has throughout his eight-year MLB career: by being weird. 'He's got that different angle and he's not going to light up the radar gun, but all of his pitches feel like they get on you,' second baseman DJ LeMahieu said. 'His offspeed looks extra slow. Just one of those guys who's got good stuff and he knows what he's doing out there.' Advertisement Yarbrough also features five pitches. He uses four of them almost equally, leading with his cutter (24 percent) and attacking with a sinker (23 percent), sweeper (22.6 percent) and a changeup (20.6 percent). He also mixes in a four-seamer (9.3 percent). He throws slowly, too. Really slowly. His 87.5-mph average fastball places him within just the bottom 1 percentile of the game. 'He's different than anything you face,' Boone said. The Yankees know that. So does Yarbrough, a thorn in his current team's side for the first five years of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays until 2021. Then he bounced among the Kansas City Royals, Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays before landing just before the start of spring training with the Yankees. He's always been a bit of a funky side-armer, even when he was at Old Dominion before the Seattle Mariners drafted him in the fourth round in 2014. Nobody has tried to change him. 'As far as I know,' he said. 'Nothing really stands out as (a big change). There's always the running joke of the unique lefty approaches, something like that.' Yarbrough releases the ball at an arm angle of 13 degrees, the fourth-lowest among qualified pitchers. His release point closely resembles Atlanta Braves lefty ace Chris Sale (13-degree arm angle), especially when shoulder positioning is taken into account. Sale is a lanky 6-foot-6. The Yankees seem to have made it a point to include a variety of release points by their pitchers, particularly their bullpen. The unit spans from submarine lefty Tim Hill's 23-degree release point to a bunch of high-release righties (Mark Leiter Jr., 51 degrees; Fernando Cruz and Luke Weaver, 48 degrees). 'The slot makes it a little harder to pick up from a deception aspect, with how I throw and how I hide the ball,' Yarbrough said. 'It's the reaction I've gotten from hitters I've played against. … It's one of those things where it's hard to pick up. If they can't necessarily pick up anything on you, sooner rather than later, it puts them in a tough spot. Especially when I'm able to throw enough strikes and mix speeds. It just adds an extra element.' Advertisement 'It's a funky angle for a tall guy,' Boone said. The Yankees have also worked with him on his pitches. For example, his slider is getting more spin and about three inches more horizontal break, according to Statcast. 'It's been more about game planning and understanding how everything works and moves,' he said. 'Maybe little tweaks with pitches, but nothing super crazy. Just really understanding how everything moves and really utilizing my whole arsenal.' 'It's tough to get a bead on him,' Boone said. The Yankees have no reason to believe that hitters won't continue to struggle with Yarbrough as he gets even more comfortable in the rotation. 'He's fun to watch, man,' Boone said.

John and Abigail Adams knew all-out war with Britain was inevitable
Joseph J. Ellis is the author, most recently, of 'The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents.' On June 2, 1775, barely six weeks after British troops and colonial militias had clashed at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail. He was in Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress had recently convened, and she had reported to him about more recent skirmishing around Boston Harbor. He asked whether she had been frightened, and added: 'Poor Bostonians! My Heart Bleeds for them day and Night' — then reported encouraging signs of militancy stirring in Philadelphia, even if many in the Continental Congress resisted it. John's letters to Abigail and others in the spring of 1775 conveyed his sense that all-out war with Britain was inevitable. 'I am myself as fond of Reconciliation … as any Man,' he wrote to a relative on June 10, but 'the Cancer is too deeply rooted, and too far spread to be cured by any thing short of cutting it out entire.' A week later, the hundreds of bodies strewn on Bunker Hill would seem to confirm John's prescient but unpopular assessment. Abigail needed no reminding of her husband's impatience with his more cautious critics in Philadelphia, who were, as he would put it months later, still 'waiting … for a Messiah that will never come.' She tried to calm him down, but she did not try to change his mind, because she also had come to the conclusion that the necessity of waging war for American independence was a foregone conclusion. 'We now expect our Sea coasts ravaged,' she wrote on June 16. 'Courage I know we have in abundance … but powder — where shall we get a sufficient supply?' Story continues below advertisement Advertisement We know so much about the thinking of John and Abigail Adams at this crucial time because of the letters they exchanged in 1775 and 1776, letters they would make a conscious effort to preserve. 'I have now purchased a Folio Book,' John wrote from Philadelphia at one point, 'and intend to write all my Letters to you in it from this Time forward.' He urged Abigail to make copies of hers, too: 'I really think that your Letters are much better worth preserving than mine.' Most historians have tended to agree with John's assessment, and Abigail herself acknowledged the candor that she brought to their exchanges. 'My pen is always freer than my tongue,' she noted. 'I have wrote many things to you that I suppose I could never have talk'd.' The Adams team was crossing a Rubicon together. They both realized that they were living through a decisive moment in American history. They both agreed that history was headed toward American independence. And they both believed that they had an obligation to record their thoughts, memories and even their emotional uncertainties for future generations. They were not just writing letters to each other; they were writing to posterity, which is to say, us. As a result, we know more about their thoughts and feelings than any other prominent couple in America during that era. What John and Abigail Adams wanted us to know was that the American Revolution was not just a great political crisis. It was also a personal crisis for their family. For example, John worried that his wholesale commitment to what he called The Cause rendered him an absent father at the very time their three sons and daughter needed him the most. He blamed himself when two of the sons later led promiscuous and drug- or alcohol-driven lives. Abigail had no plausible reason to think herself a failure as a mother, but she worried about being a failure as a wife, for she was not at John's side in Philadelphia. She could only comfort and reassure him from afar. As she put it: 'When he is wounded, I bleed.' Finally, they both doubted their capacity to convey the mental and emotional implications of their decision to commit to American independence at a time when the political prospects for victory over the dominant military and economic power on the planet were, at best, highly problematic. They were like poker players who were all-in before knowing what cards they had been dealt. Story continues below advertisement Advertisement Because we know the outcome, we cannot comprehend what it felt like to devote, as Thomas Jefferson later put it, 'our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor,' to a glorious but unlikely cause. We cannot share their uncertainty. Their letters provide only a glimpse of their conviction and bravado, which is the way they wanted it. If Britain won the war, their letters were unlikely ever to be seen anyway. But just because we know where history was headed — that it would take 15 months after Lexington and Concord for the American colonies to declare independence — it in no way diminishes the fascination of the Adamses' correspondence during that period. The letters show us their frustrations with and their criticisms of their more hesitant colleagues ('The Fidgets, the Whims, the Caprice, the Vanity, the Superstition, the Irritability of some of us,' John wrote in July 1775), and the efforts by John to convince himself and then Abigail that patience was their only option. Although the couple had already crossed a Rubicon, they would have to wait on the other side for a majority of their fellow Americans to join them.
