The last thing the New York Yankees need is another pitcher whose radar gun readings are just as intimidating as his stature on the mound.

Nevertheless, Domingo Acevedo is coming.

Since he's far from a household name for the time being, a proper introduction is in order. Acevedo is a right-hander from the Dominican Republic whom the Yankees signed for just $7,500 in 2012. He'll turn 24 years old on March 6.

What's so special about him? Oh, you know. He's just a 6'7", 250-pound behemoth with a fastball that's been clocked as high as 103 mph. Stuff like that.

The minor leagues have had trouble containing Acevedo's sheer might. Despite some early injury trouble, he's logged a 2.82 ERA and registered a 4.1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in five seasons. He started the 2017 season at High-A Tampa and ended it at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's now on the Yankees' 40-man roster and with the big club for spring training.
