Is Miguel Andujar finally claiming a place in the Yankees outfield? Battling Clint Frazier for a regular job, his bat sparkled again Tuesday night, with three hits, including a homer and a sharp double to left field in an 11-5 win over the Angels. While his defense can kindly be called "a work in progress," the former 3rd baseman hits the ball as hard as anyone not named Judge, Stanton and Sanchez.
Strike at the knees. Here's Luis Guillorme of the Mets taking a called K from Aaron Nola. It was part of the Phillies ace's record-tying streak of 10 consecutive strikeouts.Mets reliever Miguel Castro keeping Travis Jankowski close to 1st base.
A wide shot of Citi Field taken from just behind the 300-level seats. Dilson Herrera is almost the poster child for Four-A players. A really good minor league hitter who has never shown enough in the majors, I first saw him in 2014 when he was with the Mets Double-A Binghamton club. Seven years later, he's trying to make it back with the show in the Blue Jays organization. He's spending this summer at Trenton, an hour's drive from Philadelphia and 90 minutes from New York -- but a world away in baseball terms. Hoy Jun Park hasn't drawn the attention of some other Yankee prospects. His 2021 performance has finally edged him closer to the spotlight. Moving between 2nd, short and centerfield, he's hitting over .350 on the season and playing good defense in all three spots. He's worth following on the MiLB app, along with his better-known teammate Estevan Florial (below). Finally, from May 16th, the quirky expansiveness of The Trop seen from the upper level's left field corner.
