Yankees History: Unexpected All-Stars
The best story so far on the 2022 Yankees has almost unquestionably been the emergence of catcher Jose Trevino. A seemingly last-minute addition on April 2nd with fellow offseason catcher acquisition Ben Rortvedt injured, Trevino has grabbed the catching position by the horns, taking over the regular spot behind the plate.
Trevino has done so not only with some good defensive play, but with some impressive performances at the plate, including a couple walk-off hits. In fact, Trevino has been so solid that he ended up as one of the two options in the final voting round for the AL starting catching spot for the 2022 All-Star Game.
