This season, Domingo Germán has been nothing short of unpredictable and untrustworthy on the mound. He's far from a perfect person or pitcher, evidenced from his past. Wednesday, perfect was the only adjective necessary to describe his performance.
at the time. He missed 18 games in 2019, then missed all of the pandemic-shortened 2020 season before needing to convince the Yankees to bring him back in 2021, to the dismay of some teammates. Relief pitcher Zack Britton told reporters before Germán’s comeback that season, “Sometimes you don’t get to control who your teammates are.”
In February, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he was “really excited” about the growth Germán had shown, personally and professionally. “I do feel like there’s been a lot of maturity that’s happened with him over the last couple of years, but even from last year until this spring so far, he certainly understands where he’s at in his career and the opportunities that are in front of him right now,” Boone said. “I think he understands the importance of that and the seriousness and excitement of that. He’s in a pretty good spot right now for us. It’s good to see.
Germán gave up his No. 55 jersey to Rodón after he was signed this offseason and changed it to No. 0, the only single-digit number remaining for the Yankees, to signify a new beginning for himself. He told the “Con Las Bases Llenas” podcast this spring that he battled depression after his 2019 incident because his actions nearly cost him his family and career.
This season, Germán has been nothing short of unpredictable and untrustworthy on the mound — far from becoming the Yankees’ fourth perfect game pitcher, joining Don Larsen, David Wells and David Cone.
