Around the Empire: Yankees news - 10/30/22

NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: The way he was used down the stretch was certainly questionable at best, but it appears that the organization feels like Oswald Peraza’s first taste of the big leagues was a resounding success. Yankees hitting coach Dillon Lawson was particularly impressed with his advanced, yet still improving, approach at the plate. He noted specifically his top-end exit velocity for a shortstop and the fact that his swing decisions continue to improve as he advances to each new level of his career. It’s not a guarantee that Peraza will be the starting shortstop come April — as it stands, I think it’s hard to guarantee pretty much anything with this lineup — but Lawson’s praise certainly makes it seem like a possibility at the very least.
