With Toronto up in the series, the Yankees are about to finish their participation in the MLB postseason. Regardless of the result, what no one will be able to take away from the New York team is the great campaign they have had and the stellar performance of emerging stars such as Cam Schlittler. The 24-year-old pitcher has been lethal on and off the mound, as he has a girlfriend whom he keeps secret from the media world.

When asked about his love life, the Bronx baseball player tries to divert the conversation about his private life to talk about his cat. Yes, his cat, which he has named Arya “after Arya Stark from Game of Thrones“, he said, whom he rescued in spring training in Tampa, Florida.
