The New York Yankees are the most prestigious franchise in baseball. They have won an unprecedented 27 World Series championships, and 40 American League Pennants. Therefore, it is safe to assume that an enormous amount of talented pitchers have donned the pinstripes over the years. So, how do we separate the good from the great, or the great from the elite? Should we base our opinions on each pitcher’s statistics with the club? Should longevity with the club be a factor? How about their impact on any of the 27 World Series runs?
I took all of these factors into account when constructing this list. However, please keep in mind that I am a 16 year-old Yankee fan, and despite my constant research on the club, my knowledge is limited. So, if I leave any pitcher off that any of you feel deserves a spot on this list over another pitcher, please leave a comment below, as I always value any input. But for now, here is my list of the 25 greatest pitchers in Yankee history.
