Yankees pitcher Dellin Betances will not likely play winter ball in the offseason, The Journal News reports Monday. The Yankees would prefer he get ready for an important spring training.
"It’s doubtful right now," senior vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman said.
Betances, as a starter for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, had a 6.00 ERA over 24 innings. He gave up 19 hits, 19 earned runs, 16 walks and struck out 25 batters. As a reliever, Betances had an ERA of just 1.35 over 60 innings.
