Adam Warren, 24, will make his Major League Debut tonight against the Chicago White Sox in New York. Adam was born in New Bern, North Carolina on August 25th, 1987. Warren is listed at 6'1" and weighs 200 pounds. He was drafted in the 36th round of the 2008 draft by the Cleveland Indians, but did not sign. He was later drafted again in the 4th round of the 2009 draft. 

Warren throws two types of fastball. He can throw a two-seamer and a four-seamer. His two-seamer clocks around 90-92 miles per hour. His fastball can get up there from 93-96 and you will most likely see his fastball in the mid 90's. He has great command of his fastball and it will be interesting to see if he will be able to blow it by hitters. His pinpoint control is what really sets his fastball apart from others.

He can also uses a mix of sliders, changeups, and curveballs to get hitters off balance. His curveball could be one of his best pitches. He has been developing it for years and he should be able to use it for his advantage. His changeup is also really good. He can locate it great, but it doesn't really have a lot of break to it.

At Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Warren has gone 5-5 with a 3.86 ERA over 15 starts. He had a 6.15 strikeouts per 9 innings.

Adam Warren looks to help the Yankees out due to their recent losses of C.C. Sabathia and Andy Pettitte.
