The right-handed prospect defends himself with a fastball from 93 to 98 miles, at the same time he has a super uncomfortable curve in the sight of hitters with a speed range of 80 miles.

As the famous rule five approaches where players who are not protected with multiple years of service could be claimed by other teams, the Yankees added to the 40-man roster to protect him. The objective of the Yankees is that Clayton manages to improve his changeup and curve, once he masters both pitches he would be ready to become one of the most dominant in the business. He must also improve his control
