"You look at the linescore, not great. I feel like I truthfully gave up one solid-hit ball. Good thing is I got my ups in [multiple innings], I had some traffic on the bases. I think what I didn't do well is, it's been so long being in that kind of game atmosphere where there was traffic on the bases, I have to do a better job of slowing down and not trying to do too much."
"The hard-throwing Weathers has shown himself to be a potentially emerging star in recent years when he's been able to consistently stay on the field. And therein lies the problem. After mostly undistinguished seasons from 2021-23 with the Padres and then the Marlins, Weathers posted a 3.63 ERA in 16 starts with Miami in 2024 but missed three months of that season with a left index finger strain."
Ryan Weathers made his second spring training appearance for the Yankees against the Mets at Clover Park, posting an underwhelming performance with six runs allowed (five earned) on seven hits and two walks across two-plus innings in a 10-4 loss. The 26-year-old lefthander, acquired via trade from the Marlins as the Yankees' highest-profile offseason addition, acknowledged his struggles while noting he gave up only one solid-hit ball and attributed some difficulties to managing game situations with runners on base. Despite the poor outing, the Yankees maintain confidence in Weathers as a rotation piece for opening day and future bullpen contributor. The hard-throwing pitcher has shown potential as an emerging star but has battled injury issues, including a left index finger strain that cost him three months in 2024.
