Yankees First ST Win: Sanchez With a Mammoth Shot Over CF, Gittens Grand Slam Gives Yanks Lead. - NYY.NEWS
The Yankees made up for yesterdays lost against the Blue Jays with a 5-4 win against the Detroit Tiger’s and former Houston Astros manager AJ Hinch. Cole and Taillon also made there first debut this ST. The Yankees recently acquired Taillon from the Pirates this offseason. Cole didn’t start off strong but only gave up 1 run, 3 hits with 1K in the 1st. His velocity was there and 2/3 hits he gave up were below 75MPH off the bat. This is ST and we want our guys to go out there and get reps. Numbers do not matter. More importantly, Taillon followed in the 2nd with a 1-2-3 inning with 1 strikeout. He looked very sharp after coming back from his second TJ. He only threw 7 pitches in his 1 inning of work. This was our first look on his new short arm delivery and his nasty curveball Cole praised him for...
Examining the Yankees Position Battles as Spring Training Games Begin - NYY.NEWS
Well folks, we made it. Later today, the New York Yankees will host the Toronto Blue Jays at George M. Steinbrenner Field for the first game of Spring Training. All eyes will be on the health of returning stars Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton as well as incoming starters Jameson Taillon and Corey Kluber. Yet, there are plenty of guys on the fringes of the roster trying to head north with the big league club. Who has the edge before the games begin? First, we have to look at the locks. On the position player side, the Opening Day lineup would appear to be set (barring an injury of course): C Sanchez 1B Voit 2B LeMahieu SS Torres 3B Urshela LF Frazier CF Hicks RF Judge DH Stanton Assuming the Yankees carry a four-man bench (13 hitters and 13 pitchers...
Michael King Named Starter for Spring Training Opener - NYY.NEWS
Manager Aaron Boone has named young Michael King the starter for Yankees Spring Training opener against our division rival Blue Jays on Sunday, March 28th at 1:05PM. King is one of many pitchers the Yankees have that could have a breakout year in 2021. With his nasty sinker, curve. and changeup combo he can be one of many pitchers the Yankees rely on as a fifth starter, or even be used in the bullpen as a long relief type pitcher. Evidently King has been a tremendous pitcher in the minor leagues posting a 2.93 ERA in 387.0 IP with a 1.06 WHIP. He’s also had a taste of the big leagues in 2019 and 2020. He totaled 28.2 IP, posted an ERA of 7.22, and a 1.50 WHIP. Not a big sample size to go off of since 26.2 of his IP in were in 2020. This was a year lots of players had down years due to the mess Covid-19 caused and MLB’s shortened season. As most things come back to normal us Yankee fans should keep our eyes open on King as he can be a big contributor to this ball club. I wouldn’t bet against him to have a breakout year. Many things to look forward to with this young New York native.
