The 2019 Yankee season came with a slogan better known as the “Next Man Up” since many Triple-A players were called up to the big leagues due to injuries. Tyler Wade was among those players and finally saw a surge in production. How does this affect his future role?
Going into the 2019 season, Wade was one of those players who produced well in the minors but could not make the transition to the majors. In 66 career Major League games, he found himself hitting an abysmal .161 with only 20 hits. The only thing that seemed to keep him on the Yankees roster was his speed and being a utility fielder.
