Throw, stretch, run. Chat with Trenton pitching coach Scott Aldred. Same routine, different day. The only difference, of course, was what Wordekemper was preparing for. http://yankees.scout.com/2/765477.html 2047 Scott Spinelli http://yankees.scout.com/2/765477.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:15:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session.

Used as a starter, a middle reliever, and even as a closer in his professional career thus far, his versatility has given the Yankees a lot of flexibility and he keeps posting eye-popping numbers to fight his way into the top prospect mix. http://yankees.scout.com/2/701458.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/701458.html Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:46:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Tampa reliever Eric Wordekemper won the Florida State League Pitcher of the Year award this past season after he went 2-0 with 33 saves and a minuscule 0.57 ERA in his first year as a closer. As much as his stuff progressed in 2007, he says he's in the Arizona Fall League to further develop his splitter. http://yankees.scout.com/2/694129.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/694129.html Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:05:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session.

With a 1-0 record and a strong 0.63 ERA, he has made the closer position look easy. The fact that he hasn't given up a run since May 27th and is leading the Florida State League with 31 saves, already proves his success. As he continues to work, he still focuses on what has contributed to his success in this role. http://yankees.scout.com/2/670624.html 2047 Debbie Sutton http://yankees.scout.com/2/670624.html Tue, 21 Aug 2007 12:45:00 GMT 0 303 NY Yankees yankees The fact that Tampa Yankees pitcher Eric Wordekemper is versatile isn’t what catches the eye. The fact that he’s versatile and productive, that’s where his contributions reign supreme. http://yankees.scout.com/2/643585.html 2047 Andy Sullivan http://yankees.scout.com/2/643585.html Sun, 13 May 2007 12:07:00 GMT 0 303 NY Yankees yankees
