Overview
- MLB reporter Jon Heyman reported the minors pact on Friday, describing Fellows as a bullpen candidate with a big strikeout slider.
- The 27-year-old reached Triple-A Indianapolis in 2025, posting a 4.41 ERA with 94 strikeouts and 46 walks over 112.1 innings across 33 appearances.
- His strikeout rate improved in relief, with reports highlighting a heavy, bullet-spin slider and a small velocity uptick outside the rotation.
- A 2019 sixth-round pick out of Vanderbilt, Fellows has not made his MLB debut and moved to Pittsburgh in the transaction tied to Joe Musgrove.
- The signing aligns with the Yankees’ preference for low-risk, projectable arms as they retool a bullpen that lost pieces such as Mark Leiter Jr. and Devin Williams.
