The Aporia
Cam Schlittler, a late-blooming Yankees pitcher drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 MLB Draft as pick No. 220 out of Northeastern University and Walpole, Mass., is now the leading candidate for the American League Cy Young Award at age 25. Schlittler's unexpected rise to stardom has positioned him as a key player in the Yankees' pursuit of their potential 28th World Series championship, which would be their first since 2009. His philosophy, summarized by his motto "Ride till you die," reflects both his approach to the playoffs and his commitment to embracing whatever future challenges arise.
