No matter how you put it — whether his play has opened eyes, turned heads, raised eyebrows, or shifted around any other facial features — Rosell Herrera has made a big impression in Yankees camp this spring. In 27 plate appearances he has slashed .400/.444/.600, fielded the ball cleanly in multiple positions, and won fans in the clubhouse with his approach.
If he can parlay that success into a spot on New York’s 26-man roster, Herrera could join Adam Ottavino, DJ LeMahieu and Mike Tauchman on the list of recent Yankees contributors with Colorado Rockies roots.
