If you didn't know who Cam Schlittler was a few weeks ago, I don't blame you. He had one brief start above Double-A at the start of June and ended up making just five starts at Triple-A before making his major-league debut Wednesday against the Mariners.

Before being promoted by the Yankees, the former Northeastern star was 2-1 in five starts at Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 3.80 ERA.

While the 24-year-old flamethrower takes in the emotions of such a step in his baseball journey, manager Aaron Boone must grapple with New York’s depleted starting rotation, Schlittler’s potential and his promising debut.
