If there’s any single player that has been lackluster for the New York Yankees this season, it is Gary Sanchez. Offensively, he has been a complete liability and defensively inconsistent. In the batter’s box, he is currently hitting .142 with a .372 slugging percentage. He has 10 homers and 24 RBIs on the year but has also struck out 61 times.
Considering how awful Sanchez has been in every facet of the game, back-up catcher Kyle Higashioka has stepped in to replace his lost efficiency. Even in 2019, Sanchez finished with a .232 batting average, despite earning an All-Star appearance for his first half of the season.
