The New York Yankees are preparing for their first spring training game on Saturday afternoon, kicking off multiple position battles. Shortstop is a primary battle to keep an eye on, with Oswald Peraza, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Anthony Volpe all having a fair opportunity to win the starting job.
Peraza leads the group with a slight advantage, given his phenomenal defense and pop to his bat, showcased during live batting practice earlier this week.
