Just one year ago New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was batting .233 for the Toronto Blue Jays. Fast forward to the present and he’s hitting an astounding .302 with seven homers and 41 RBIs.
When it comes to the Yankees, average players suddenly become stars. How? Only the baseball gods really know. My assumption is the history and expectation that comes with being a Yankee.
If you like to win and want to be around players that care, coming to the Bombers is the right choice. For Urshela, it ended up being a career-changing move.
