Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Oswald Peraza (4/20)

Related Topics: Oswald Peraza, Patrick Sandoval

Poise. That’s the word that I think of when watching Oswald Peraza. He isn’t really a dazzling offensive prospect, but he has performed very well in the minor leagues the last few seasons because of his poise in the box. Defensively, we know he is highly skilled. But at the plate, it’s been nice to see him handle the strike zone well and not press too much despite the lack of batted ball success.

Last week against the Angels, Peraza was presented with a run-producing opportunity, as he came to the plate with the bases loaded against the struggling Patrick Sandoval.
