ROOKIE SEASON—On April 5 at BOS, became the fifth Ray all-time to go at least 5 IP and not allow a run in his first career start, joining Matt Moore (5 IP) in 2011, Scott Kazmir (5 IP) in 2004, Doug Waechter (9 IP) in 2003 and Jason Standridge (6.1 IP) in 2001…joined Scott Kazmir (6 IP) in 2004 and Steve Trachsel (9 IP) as the only Rays with a scoreless outing of at least 5 IP in their first career game at Fenway Park…ac-cording to the Elias Sports Bureau, he was the first pitcher to make the first start of his career at Fenway Park and not allow a run in at least 5 IP since ATL Kyle Davies did it in his major league debut on May 21, 2005 (5-IP, 0-R).

Ê In his major league debut on April 1 vs. BOS, his only hit allowed in 4 IP was the game-winning single by Rafael Devers in the 6th inning (run charged to José Alvarado)…became the third pitcher in club history with a scoreless app or start of at least 4 IP in his major league debut, following Enny Romero (4.2 IP, start) on Sep 22, 2013 vs. BAL and Scott Kazmir (5 IP, start) on Aug 23, 2004 at SEA…it was the longest scoreless relief outing ever for a Rays pitcher making his major league debut.

PITCHER OF THE YEAR—Named the 2017 Minor League Pitcher of the Year by the Rays Baseball Operations department…spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Durham, earning a May 2 promotion from Double-A Montgomery…went 13-5 with a 2.73 ERA (168.1-IP, 51-ER) in 27 apps (26 starts) between the two levels…led Rays minor leaguers in innings, tied for 2nd in wins, ranked 3rd with 141 SO and 4th in ERA.

Ê Despite spending a month at the Double-A level, ranked among International League leaders in ERA (2.74, 4th), wins (12, tied for 4th), innings (141, 5th) and WHIP (0.98, 2nd).

X-RAY REPORT—Yonny’s favorite player growing up was Yankees closer Mariano Rivera…as a child, he and his friends would play a game similar to baseball that replaced the ball and bat with chapitas, or bottle caps, and a broomstick…his favorite meals are arepas—baked cornmeal patties sometimes stuffed with cheese or meat—and chicken with rice.
