The Yankees continued to bring in possible depth pitching options by signing righty Drake Fellows to a minor-league pact Friday, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
Fellows, 27, spent four seasons in the Pirates organization and topped out at Triple-A last season, when he pitched both as a starter and reliever and posted a 4.41 ERA.
He was better out of the bullpen, when he pitched to a 3.86 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 30 ⅓ innings. Fellows often led with a low-90s sinker, but his best pitch is a slider that generated a whiff on over half the swings from opposing batters.
The big righty, who is listed at 6-feet-5, 216 pounds, becomes another option-able arm who will try to work his way to The Bronx.
The Yankees have been busy adding such fliers recently, signing righty Bradley Hanner on Thursday and selecting Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest on Wednesday.
