As the right-hander prepares for year two with the Yankees, he is preparing to make some changes.</p><p>Chief among them is adding a changeup to his arsenal. Schlittler already torches the radar gun and has a number of off speed pitches to work with. For pitching coach Matt Blake, having Schlittler learn a changeup will only <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/12/01/yankees-cam-schlittler-mlb-blue-jays-red-sox-brian-cashman-postseason/?share=r2o2ln2twisastoa1tib" rel="noopener">make him a more dynamic pitcher</a> and add to his strengths, via Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.</p><p>“We’re trying to get him something that he can get below the barrel but can command,” Blake said, adding that he wants Schlittler to refine what he already has, though a changeup would help him against lefties. “How do you avoid the foul ball war? How do you get some weak contact at times?”</p><p>Alongside his pitch growth, Schlittler is simply locked in on improvement. He isn’t taking any time off and is expected to report to New York’s development complex in Tampa Bay during the first week on January. Schlittler is committed to proving his rookie year wasn’t a fluke.</p><p>“I was happy with how my three months went in my rookie season, but it could have been a lot better,” Schlittler said. “So there’s some things I need to clean up, and there was a lot of talk in the media during that playoff run, but I’m eager to go out there and back it up.”</p><p>Even with all his preparation, it’ll be a tough act to follow. Over his 14 games as a rookie, Schlittler put up a 2.96 ERA and a 84/31 K/BB ratio. Then in his playoff debut against the Boston Red Sox, the righty struck out 12 over eight scoreless innings, not allowing a walk.</p><p>The Yankees are going to be shorthanded entering the year with injuries to Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon. But if Schlittler takes an even further step forward, New York will have a dangerous force in their rotation for the foreseeable future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Toronto’s victory clinched a 3–1 series win, ousting New York and ending the Yankees’ run of three consecutive elimination-game wins this October.</p><p>Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler, who had lit up the Wild Card with eight scoreless frames and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-fans-erupt-over-cam-schlittler-12-ks-blazing-start-vs-red-sox">12 strikeouts against the Boston Red Sox</a> in the Wild Card series, slogged through another determined outing but couldn’t prevent New York from biting the postseason dust.</p><p>Schlittler pitched 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits, only two of them earned due to an error by Jazz Chisholm Jr., while striking out two and walking none. In his two postseason starts, Schlittler posted a 1.26 ERA across 14.1 innings, showing nerves of steel for a 24-year-old making his October debut.</p><p>After the game, Schlittler <a href="https://x.com/snyyankees/status/1976125504445915274" rel="noopener">recalled a hushed, thoughtful mood</a> in the Yankees’ clubhouse.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cam Schlittler talks about the vibe of the clubhouse after tonight's season-ending loss:</p><p>"Quiet. The leaders in the room stepped up, they spoke and we listened" <a href="https://t.co/OTrYNJrlhl">pic.twitter.com/OTrYNJrlhl</a></p><p>— Yankees Videos (@snyyankees) <a href="https://twitter.com/snyyankees/status/1976125504445915274?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Quiet. I mean, again, you know, leaders in the room stepped up, Booney stepped up, you know, they spoke and we listened,” Schlittler said. “So again, the angle is the same. This is, again, you just got to try and, you know, feel the fire and take it into your offseason training and, again, get ready for spring training and take it into next season.”</p><p>The Blue Jays continued their pattern of scoring first, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in George Springer with a first-inning single, the fourth consecutive game Toronto jumped ahead early. Ryan McMahon briefly leveled the score with his first career postseason home run in the third inning, a solo shot off lefty Mason Fluharty, tying the game at 1–1. Aaron Judge contributed two singles and an RBI in Game 4, concluding his playoff run at an impressive 13-for-26 (.500) with seven RBIs in seven games.</p><p>New York’s late-inning opportunities ultimately went unfulfilled. In the seventh inning, with the score 2–1, Chisholm’s error on a grounder that could have started a double play allowed Nathan Lukes to hit a two-run single, stretching Toronto’s lead to 4–1. The Yankees loaded the bases in the eighth with two outs but failed to capitalize as Austin Wells flew out. Overall, New York was 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the decisive game.</p><p>The Blue Jays struck out just six times and collected 12 hits, outscoring the Yankees 34–19 in the series.</p><p>In left field, Volpe turned a routine play into a gem with a running grab, but he couldn’t light up the scoreboard, finishing 5-for-26 with 16 strikeouts. Chisholm finished the series at .182 with a .598 OPS, while Trent Grisham and other Yankees failed to provide consistent offensive support behind Judge.</p><p>Stripped of postseason hopes, despite having the third-highest Opening Day payroll in Major League Baseball, New York must now regroup and plan for a 2026 comeback.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Blue Jays advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2016, where they will face either the Seattle Mariners or Detroit Tigers in a series tied at 2–2 heading into Friday’s decisive Game 5.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Facing elimination, the New York Yankees turned to rookie Cam Schlittler, who stepped up with a clutch fifth-inning strikeout that froze one of baseball’s hottest bats. It was the first time Guerrero has struck out in the 2025 playoffs, and it came at a pivotal moment with the Blue Jays holding a slim lead.</p><p>Heading into Game 4, Guerrero had been nearly unstoppable. He entered the night hitting .615 with three home runs and nine RBIs through the first three games of the Yankees vs. Blue Jays ALDS series. He had gone 16-straight postseason plate appearances without a strikeout. That streak came to an end when Schlittler delivered a 97-mph fastball on a full count, blowing it by the Toronto slugger to end the fifth inning with a runner on first.</p><p>The moment drew attention across baseball media. Fox Sports MLB took to its official X account (formerly known as Twitter) <a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1976084800231588077" rel="noopener">to share</a> the strikeout that ended the fifth frame and highlighted Schlittler’s outing. He then threw a scoreless sixth before Devin Williams took over in the seventh.</p><p>“Cam Schlittler gets the strikeout to limit the damage to one run in the inning”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cam Schlittler gets the strikeout to limit the damage to one run in the inning</p><p>📺: FS1 <a href="https://t.co/vxxmrSQ4BH">pic.twitter.com/vxxmrSQ4BH</a></p><p>— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1976084800231588077?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The 24-year-old rookie, who dominated the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card round, once again showed poise beyond his age. The strikeout prevented further damage and kept the Yankees within reach. Although the Blue Jays hold a 5-1 lead entering the bottom of the eighth inning, the energy in Yankee Stadium briefly spiked after the punch out.</p><p>As Game 4 of the ALDS continues, the strikeout stands out not just for the pitch, but for who it came against. A rookie pitcher shutting down <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/blue-jays-news-vladimir-guerrero-jr-superman-slide-home-vs-yankees">a player the caliber of Guerrero</a> is the kind of moment that defines October — high stakes, high talent, and no fear.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
