The Yankees have a lineage of solid defense behind the plate. Accenting strength up the middle, the organization’s Championships have always come with a Yogi Berra, Thurman Munson, Jorge Posada, and yes, even Joe Girardi to call the game, block pitches in the dirt, and keep their pitcher’s head where it belongs.
When the offense has come with defense, the Yankees have thrived even more as with the cases of Berra and Posada who won multiple rings during their playing years.
Rightly so, the Yankees decided to install Gary Sanchez as their catcher when the build began to erect a new team dubbed as the Baby Bombers.
