Major players for New York in 2015 included first baseman Lucas Duda (Royals fans will remember his two runs with the team recently) who clubbed 27 home runs, right fielder Curtis Granderson who hit his way to a .259/.364/.457 slash, 23-year-old Wilmer Flores who smacked 16 dingers while plugging the shortstop position, and David Wright who battled injuries most of the year but brought a spark back to the team when he returned in August and produced a 126 OPS+ in just under 200 plate appearances.
The real lifeblood of the team rested with the pitching.
