Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has a sweet swing from the left side, a discerning eye at the plate and a solid all-around game. He has been preparing for this life since he was in the crib, and after high school in New England he went to Vanderbilt, one of the best college baseball programs in the country.
He learned the game from a grandfather, who is in the Hall of Fame, and a father who played professionally.
But if Yastrzemski had been chasing his dreams in 2020 instead of 2013, he likely never would have gotten a chance to carry on the family tradition.
