Speed kills. It’s a phrase we’ve all heard before, though not something that has been necessarily embraced by the New York Yankees in recent years. But the 29-year-old Tim Locastro has brought the speed of light to this roster. When he’s on base, pitchers better keep an eye on him. If they don’t, it’s probably too late.
In just nine games, Timmy Lo has stolen three bases, which is tied for the fifth-most in Major League Baseball thus far. He’s also in the 98th percentile in sprint speed in 2022, and has been in the top 1% in the category since 2019.
