Poteet had Tommy John surgery in August 2022 after logging a 3.86 ERA in 12 appearances (two starts) for the Marlins that year. He made seven starts for Miami the prior year as a rookie and struggled to a 4.99 ERA. The 29-year-old righty was released by the Royals in December and signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Yankees in January. He didn't make the rotation out of camp, but Poteet made a spot start April 13 and then joined the rotation in June following Clarke Schmidt's shoulder injury. The Yankees have some decent pitching prospects in the upper levels of the minors, but Poteet represents a steadier hand. He throws a 93-94 mph fastball over half the time while mixing in two breaking balls and a changeup. Poteet's top trait, now that he is 22 months removed from surgery, is his ability to fill up the zone, as he has a strong 8.1 percent walk rate at Triple-A and a stingy 2.4 percent walk rate through two MLB starts.
