Coming into 2021 the season, numerous fans and writers had concerns over the Yankees’ starting rotation, and even the bullpen to an extent. The offense is pretty stacked from top-to-bottom, so no one batted an eye. Although it’s extremely early in the year, it’s the offense that has stalled at times and been the concern, while the pitching has been nothing less than lights out. These early issues are normal, especially after playing only six games.
However, another concern shared by many around baseball was the defense of Gleyber Torres at shortstop. Would he be able to improve his glove at a premium position after a lackluster 2020?
