New York Yankees 2020 Season Preview: Gio Urshela

Error 0:

New York Yankees‘ third baseman Gio Urshela had probably the most surprising season of all players on the team in 2020.

Urshela started the year in AAA and was called up after just two games to replace the injured Miguel Andujar. He went right to work and pieced together an incredible season.

The 28-year-old third-baseman native to Colombia hit .314 with 21 home runs and 74 RBIs. Additionally, his slugging was .534, and his OPS was .889.

Urshela was never known as an offensive threat before 2019, but he showcased his newfound success all season long.
