The Yankees lost Game Two, but the strategy wasn’t flawed

Last night, Deivi García made history as the youngest Yankee postseason starter in history, but was unable to capitalize on the limited opportunity given to him by manager Aaron Boone.

Struggling with his fastball command, García fell behind Randy Arozarena, and then served him a heater higher up in the zone than he intended to. Gary Sánchez set up down-and-away, but García left the fastball at the top of the zone.

García hides the ball well on his way to the plate, allowing his average velocity to play up just a tad.
