- Not 1, not 2, not 3, but the 4th consecutive division title for the FCL Yankees!
- To date, NYY MiLB affiliates rank... #1 Contact Quality #2 Swing Decisions ... while improving our organizational strikeout rate from 26th most in 2022 to 13th fewest in 2023. Plenty of work to be done, but great trends so far!
- During the MLB playoff games, keep in mind how challenging it is to hit a fastball (at 95mph roughly .40ms). Can you recognize the pitch, make a good decision and hit it hard? Not too difficult, right? Don’t forget the pitcher has 2-4 other pitches he can throw as well...
00:00 - On average, from the Dominican Republic to AAA, no organization produced better Swing Decisions and Contact Quality than @NYYPlayerDev in 2022. Very proud of our players and staff for this accomplishment! #HitStrikesHardThe Yankees minor league season concluded last night with Somerset's no-hitter to win the Eastern League Championship. Yankees full season affiliates went 393-324 (.548) with a +490 run differential this season, the third best record of any organization.
- This past week, Anthony hit 7 baseballs over 100 mph, including a HR at 115.5 mph. On the season, his in-zone contact rate has improved, and his chase rate is 8%. No, those are not typos. #HSHOF Anthony Garcia’s Player of the Week performance included a game where he went 4-4 with 2 homers for the @TampaTarpons 💪
- Excited to speak this weekend at the #MNBATSummit. No matter what your developmental philosophy is it comes down to one simple question, Can You Prove it?
00:00 - “…from a development standpoint, the Yankees have a supreme development system… I was like, “If I want to be the best player I can be, I’ve got to go to the Yankees.”A Conversation With New York Yankees Prospect Elijah Dunham blogs.fangraphs.com/a-conversation…
- 💥Dermis Garcia, the first NYY minor-leaguer to hit 30 home runs in a single season in the last 10 years.💥 Also, his first year at the AA level.Dermis Garcia ties the franchise record with his 30th home run of the season! 😲☄️
00:00 - In 2019, a system was established to develop hitters with a simple yet methodical philosophy: Hit Strikes Hard. To date, 15 minor leaguers have made their MLB debut.Here are 5 more things to know about the Yankees’ minor league hitters: 🧵
- Good things happen when you hit the ball this hard. 9 balls crushed over 98 mph....and by 8 different hitters.
