The New York Yankees have struggled to find Estevan Florial a place on the 26-man roster at the MLB level. Over a small sample size, the former top prospect in the team’s farm system has struggled to get things going, seeing his strikeout and chase rate issues become more prominent at the next level.
At first glance, his 2022 Triple-A numbers are fantastic, having hit .283 with a .368 OBP, 15 homers, 46 RBIs, and stealing 39 bases. However, the critical number to harp on is his 30.4% strikeout rate, which continuously balloons when facing off against big league talent.
