Prior to 2021, Luetge (pronounced LIT-key) hadn't pitched in the majors since 2015 with Seattle. He signed plenty of minor-league contracts between then, but didn't latch on with any club until he forced the matter with a dominant stretch of Grapefruit League play last spring. Luetge made the Yankees' Opening Day roster and went on to log a career-high 72.1 innings. He endured a rough start last April, permitting at least one earned run in each of his first five outings, but he had a 2.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP the rest of the way. The southpaw doesn't throw hard (88-mph), but was effective at limiting hard contact. He rarely walked anyone (1.9 BB/9) and kept the ball in the park (0.7 HR/9) en route to a 2.74 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. Luetge's ability to pitch multiple innings ultimately limited his number of high-leverage opportunities, but he could earn some in 2022 based off his recent performance.
