Luke Weaver throws 97 MPH now? Apparently so.
In 2024, Luke Weaver is now pumping 97 MPH while pitching for the New York Yankees in high-leverage spots.
That's right. Weaver came out of the Yankees' bullpen in the eighth inning on Monday night against the M's and was throwing absolute gas, even being highlighted by Rob Friedman on "X."Considering that Weaver is 30-42 over his nine-year career with an ERA over five , it was shocking to see him looking so good - and being used late in a 3-1 game - especially to M's fans.
He ranks in the 78th percentile of expected ERA and in the 84th percentile in expected batting average . He's also in the 80th percentile of strikeout percentage at 28%.Weaver goes to show that sometimes all it takes is a new organization with a new approach to help you get your career right. The Mariners have been able to do that for several pitchers over the last few years , but perhaps they just didn't have enough time with Weaver to unlock this version.
