TAMPA — Beware the Wolfpack.
That’s where catching leaders are formed and a team-first atmosphere is fostered. They even have their own flag — a combination wolf/dragon.
This is a big part of how the Yankees are moving forward as an organization with a strong group of young catchers, highlighted by Gary Sanchez.
The Wolfpack was created by Yankees catching coordinator Josh Paul, who caught nine years in the majors. He managed in the Yankees system and scouted, and Gary Denbo, the Yankees vice president of player development, smartly named Paul to this position several years ago.
