After struggling to find his footing with the Colorado Rockies, Mike Tauchman finally discovered success in the major leagues as a New York Yankee last season.
Following his trade to New York, Tauchman was forced to ride the shuttle bus from the Bronx to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre multiple times during the first two full months of the season. Nevertheless, he convinced the Yankees in late June to keep him in the majors for an extended period of time.
As a result, the veteran outfielder was able to showcase his talents over 87 games. Luckily, he didn’t disappoint and was able to take over as the team’s everyday left fielder during the Yanks’ injury-riddled season.
