Yankees News: Winter League performances not encouraging as two young batters struggle

With baseball at a complete standstill, the New York Yankees still have a number of players featuring in the Winter League down in the Dominican Republic. Primarily winter ball is utilized for players returning from injury or those who want a bit of extra work during the off-season; one of the team’s big-league starters featured down south this month.

Switch-hitter Aaron Hicks enjoyed 12 games of action recovering from a wrist injury he sustained last season and knocked him out for majority of the year. He only featured in 32 games, leaving the Yankees incredibly thin in the outfield after Clint Frazier was forced out due to vertigo.
