The Yankees have gotten some great production from most of the expected sources this season. Aaron Judge has been outstanding, Anthony Rizzo’s power has returned, DJ LeMahieu has been good, and even Gleyber Torres had a solid first half. Jose Trevino, however, has provided an incredible return on investment because he has been, with a 3.7 fWAR, a highly unexpected source of production.
It’s hard to put Trevino’s considerable contributions to the 2022 Yankees in numbers. Some of them have to do with offering a truly competitive hitter and defender at the catcher position, something that hadn’t happened in a while, while others are more related to his clubhouse presence and his leadership skills.
