CC Sabathia said it best when he described the confidence the team has in Gio Urshela with his famous “turn off the lights” quote. It’s true, the 27-year old journeyman has been nothing short of a revelation for the Yankees this season, especially as he has filled in admirably for the injured Miguel Andujar at third.
After his performance Sunday night, his season batting line is up to .314/.359/.522 which is good for a 129 wRC+. He has been on fire lately, and currently holds the longest hitting streak in the AL at 11 games.
