On the season, he has a 1.47 ERA across 61 ¹/₃ innings.”Brazziler added that Headrick is within reach of breaking a record that’s been held for more than two decades.“Headrick could set a Yankees record for most pitching appearances in a season. Paul Quantrill owns the No. 1 spot (86) in 2004, and Scott Proctor is No. 2 (83) in 2006. Headrick is on pace to tie Proctor.”Headrick said he was not expecting to play such a big role out of the bullpen, telling reporters after the team’s win on Wednesday that he didn’t expect to hear his name called so many times.“If someone said you would have 60 appearances [at this point], I would say you’re crazy,” Headrick said, via the New York Post. “It’s awesome. It’s been a wild year, but it’s been a lot of fun.”Like HEAVY’s content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Yankees Get Brent Headrick News Amid Quietly Historic Season appeared first on HEAVY.
