Everyone appreciates an inspiring resurgence, and for the New York Yankees, Estevan Florial could very well be that story. Previously a highly-touted prospect, Florial experienced a lull in Triple-A this season. But with Jasson Dominguez sidelined due to a UCL injury, Florial received the call and a golden opportunity to demonstrate his potential.
This 25-year-old has stepped onto the MLB diamond for 40 games, 11 of which were this year, posting a .229 average, a .357 OBP, alongside six RBIs, a 23.8% strikeout rate, 11.9% walk rate, and 99 wRC+. Proving his mettle, he has offered both commendable defense and consistent offensive prowess, marking an evident improvement from his earlier stints.
