The New York Yankees scraped and clawed away at the 2019 regular season after losing several starters to injury. Their scrappy nature and ability to fill essential positions with unexplainable quality allowed them to break the 100-win mark. Third baseman, Gio Urshela, played a massive part in the team’s success, hitting .314 on the year and locking down the hot corner after the injury to Miguel Andujar.
The decision to keep Urshela, a career average player, at the third base, will be difficult for the Yankees and manager Aaron Boone. Still, it shouldn’t take much to justify his solidification at the position.
