Overview
- Lagrange answered "Yeah" when asked if he is big league–ready, then tossed four scoreless innings against the Red Sox to lower his spring ERA to 0.66.
- He threw 60 pitches with two hits, one walk and four strikeouts on Wednesday, averaging 99.6 mph with his fastball.
- Across six Grapefruit League outings, the 22-year-old has logged 13.2 innings with 13 strikeouts and a 0.73 WHIP.
- Manager Aaron Boone highlighted his improvement and intangibles, and catcher Austin Wells said Lagrange "could help us right now."
- Despite the performance, reports indicate the Yankees are likely to start him at Triple-A to continue starter development and refine strike-throwing, with no Opening Day decision announced.
