I was actually going to update the entire Yankees roster once I finished my list, but I'll give you my input.

My thoughts:

Top Speed 96 - he used to get it up to 98 MPH, but he'll average a 93 MPH fastball so 96 should work
Control 170 should be the highest. It is extremely tough to upgrade control when you get in the 160's. I think 155 should be the minimum. So 155-170
Stamina 142

Slider 3
Cutter 1-2
Changeup 2

Durability 2 - I shouldn't say this is a must because sometimes it's a pain in the ass to get, but this should be a priority to get

Spin 4 - Yes, all off speed pitches have a BA below .210 against them. Slider-.181 BA against it, Cutter-.210 BA against it, Changeup-.200 BA against it
Release 4 - Yes, base runners were 5 for 9 on SB attempts in 2014, 10 for 20 in 2011. 52% SB success
Recovery 4 - Yes

W/RISP 4 - No, career strand rate is 71.7%, which is average
Vs Lefty 4 - No
Poise 4 - No
Fastball Life 4 - No
Groundball Pitcher - No, 37.8 GB%, extremely low. if anything Flyball Pitcher could maybe work, but it's impossible to get (from what I know)
Dr. K - No

Is Pine Tar an ability? Lol
If caught by umpire, abilities decrease by -10.
If used against Red Sox, Dr. k achieved.
