Earlier this week, I revisited the best seasons by Yankee veterans aged 35 and up by position. That list had many legends across several decades ranging from Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada. Today, we’re going to flip the script and review the best seasons from the many young studs the Bombers have had in their franchise’s history.
The criteria will be the same. The player must have played at least two thirds of the season at their respective position. Obviously, the age filter will be slightly different. The focus is on seasons from players ages 23 and under.
