Carlos Rodón Sees Velocity Uptick During Spring Buildup

Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón is experiencing a velocity increase while focusing on command during his recovery from elbow surgery. During a two-inning live batting practice session, Rodón reached 95 mph while primarily sitting at 93-94 mph. He noted that backing off his effort has paradoxically improved his command and velocity. Manager Aaron Boone expressed satisfaction with his progress, noting that Rodón is trending well as he works toward a potential late April or early May return.
