Gio Urshela

Before I get accused of being negative, let me start with this: , plucked out of the depths of irrelevancy by New York in late 2018, has been an absolute blast to watch this season.

The spunky 27-year-old arrived as a breath of fresh air, and he’s helped bring a newfound energy to the Evil Empire this season. If there’s one certainty this season, it’s that these aren’t your parents’ Yankees. No, this team is truly fun.

Urshela got off to a blazing start at the plate, hitting for a .354/.416/.532 slash line with a .401 wOBA and a 153 wRC+ from the beginning of the season until May 9.
