“Record-Breaking Night: Aaron Judge’s Heroics Overshadow Nestor Cortes Jr.’s Stunning Collapse at Yankee Stadium!”
“Fun, competitive, exciting, all of the above,” Cortes responded when asked how he’d remember his time with the Yankees. “It was an honor to play for that team.”
Surely he’ll remember this most recent Yankees experience much, much differently.
During his stint with New York, Cortes succeeded thanks to the shape and command of his fastball. But from pitch one of his implosion Saturday, the southpaw had neither. His heater sat around 90 mph, down a few ticks from last year. More damningly, Cortes, who also walked five batters in the outing, failed to locate the pitch on the edges of the strike zone.
