This game was awful, so I’ll keep the recap short. Phil Hughes couldn’t hold on to a 3-1 lead after five innings. The Yankees managed only six hits on the day. The bullpen imploded, led by Joba Chamberlain and Derek Lowe, to make sure the game was completely out [...]
The Yankees won by default yesterday after the Orioles imploded in the late innings. It wasn’t the most fun way to watch the team win, but under the circumstances I’ll take it. The Yankees have been giving up ground in the AL East for the past six weeks. Anything that keeps them above water is [...]

Cue the John Cena music, because Phil Hughes‘ time is up and his time is now. In his 7-year professional career, Hughes has been a 1st-round draft pick, a top-flight Yankee prospect, a top 5 blue chip prospect [...]
It wasn’t long ago that Derek Lowe called himself a tinker, but if this is a competition, Tinker of the Year goes to Phil Hughes. First he lost his cutter, then he added an 11-5 curveball, and then he dropped his arm slot. All these changes have amounted to a Phil [...]
Declining Trends In Hughes’ Fastball Show He May Be Overworked
By Michael Eder On August 24, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, Andy Pettitte, Ivan Nova, Mariano Rivera, Dellin Betances, and Manny Banuelos are all on the disabled list. While Hiroki Kuroda has stepped up in a huge way, Phil Hughes’ rebound season has been just as important. Since mechanical and repertoire adjustments began on May 6th, the 26 year old is pitching [...]
With A Drop In Arm Angle, Hughes Throwing A Sinking Four-Seam
By Michael Eder On August 15, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
It’s no secret that Yankee Stadium is a known for it’s small dimensions, it’s shallow right field porch, and its gritting relationship with right handed fly ball pitchers. Phil Hughes knows, and his career 12.3% HR/FB in Yankee Stadium contrasts with a 7.1% on the road. It wasn’t too long ago that [...]
Facing a right handed hitter should be the strength of a right handed pitcher. A reverse platoon split is a rare find in baseball, and occurs when a pitcher has better numbers against opposite-side hitters than same-side hitters. Our very own Phil Hughes has spotted one of the worst reverse platoon splits in [...]
Last night illustrates why I think the Yanks would be well served to consider trading Phil Hughes this off season, should the right deal present itself. I’m not talking about dumping him, but if I have a choice between building a deal around Phil or Ivan Nova, I’m doing the Hughes package even if it [...]
Back in early March I made a bold prediction, Phil Hughes would be the number two starter. April didn’t bode well for my dark horse pick, the 25 year old right hander produced a 7.88 ERA with batters hitting .329/.395/.658 against him. There were occasional glimpses of brilliance on Hughes’ side, but no one [...]
Yesterday morning, Steve posted about trading for Justin Upton. I’m all for this idea; Upton’s a great talent who’s still under 25 (for about a month or so more) and he’s under team control through 2015. He’d make the Yankees better just like he’d make every other team in the league [...]
