New York Yankees 2021 Season Preview: Gio Urshela a true underdog story

Our Yankees 2021 preview series continues today with a discussion about the situation at third base.

Show me a New York Yankees fan who doesn’t like Gio Urshela, and I’ll show you someone who isn’t paying attention.

Seriously, what’s not to like about him? He’s a slick-fielding third baseman who discovered newfound life at the plate in the Bronx. He wasn’t just a one-year wonder and continued playing at a high level and through an injury in 2020.

Urshela’s New York Yankees story is truly inspirational, and 2021 will be yet another where he overcomes adversity to succeed.
