Miguel Andújar has been a Yankee for life. Coming from the Dominican Republic, Andújar burst onto the scene in his rookie season in 2017. He slashed .297/.328/.527. He finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting, only to lose to 2 way star, Shohei Ohanti. For all intents and purposes, Andújar was yet another elite homegrown player the Yankees could use on their roster.
But the success didn’t continue, nor did his staying on the Yankees’ major league roster. Andújar followed up his 2018 season with an injury in 2019, allowing him to only play 12 games in the major leagues.
