He currently ranks among Yankees minor league leaders in K (T-2nd), GS (T-2nd), W (T-4), IP (4th) and ERA (7th).

Schlittler was named the 2024 Kevin Lawn Award winner as the Yankees minor league “Pitcher of the Year” and the South Atlantic League’s “Pitcher of the Year.” He made 25 combined appearances (23 starts) with High-A Hudson Valley, Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024, going 8-8 with a 3.36 ERA and 154 K in 120.1 IP. He led all qualified Yankees farmhands in strikeouts, was tied for third in wins, ranked fifth in ERA and opponents’ BA (.218), sixth in innings pitched and tied for sixth in games started.
