Talk to any Yankee player these days — especially their pitchers — and they’re likely to start raving about Gio Urshela, the newcomer who was summoned as an emergency call-up but has turned into a magic-maker at third base.
Soft hands? Fast-twitch reflexes? A cannon of an arm? Not only does Urshela check every box, but some Yankees are even propping him up as a potential Gold Glove candidate.
“I actually feel sorry for guys who hit the ball in Gio’s direction, because they have no shot of getting it by him,” said outfielder Clint Frazier.
