The surprise on the KATOH list was infielder Tyler Wade (#26), who has not shown up on any other of the lists. Yankees fans have reason to be excited about this recognition for Wade.
Wade is one of a corps of infielders, including Gleyber Torres, Ronald Torreyes, Danny Espinosa, and Jace Peterson vying for a spot in the infield, either at second base or as the utility infielder.
With Torres expected to win the job at second base, but to start the season in the minors for a number of reasons — four men will likely be doing battle for one utility role.
