You might not have noticed it until now, but New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela is having quite a year.
The 27-year-old has broken out in 2019, hitting .323 with 17 home runs and 61 RBIs in 97 games. This is quite the accomplishment considering Urshela was a .225 career hitter entering the season.
This also wasn’t supposed to happen. Regular third baseman and AL Rookie of the Year runner-up Miguel Andujar had the hot corner locked down in Spring Training. Subpar defense aside, he hit .297 with 27 home runs and 92 RBIs.
