New York Yankees’ Secret Weapon: Mike Ford

In 2019 we got to see a sample size of the big lefty Mike Ford. He had originally been called up as a backup at 1B when Luke Voit got injured and was a nobody to New York Yankees fans. He broke out towards the end of the year and captured the hearts of many Yankees fans, hitting longballs and being the power lefty bat the Yankees were looking for down the stretch. In 2020 Mike Ford could play a huge role in that lineup, and with Edwin Encarnacion’s departure to Chicago to play for the White Sox, Ford could get a lot more playing time and produce big numbers.
