We’re inching nearer to baseball.
On Tuesday, the Yankees introduced their non-roster invitees to spring coaching that features outstanding prospects and hungry veterans trying to keep within the present.
Some may have a reliable alternative to interrupt camp with the Bombers with two positions being up for grabs with anticipated battles for shortstop and left area at George M Steinbrenner Field this spring.
Here are the invitees:
OF Willie Calhoun, RHP Tyler Danish, INF Wilmer Difo, RHP Demarcus Evans, RHP Ian Hamilton, OF Michael Hermosillo, OF Billy McKinney, RHP James Norwood, OF Rafael Ortega, LHP Nick Ramirez, LHP Lisandro Santos, LHP Tanner Tully and INF Jamie Westbrook.
INF Anthony Volpe, OF Jasson Dominguez, RHP Sean Boyle, C Josh Breaux, OF Elijah Dunham, C Anthony Seigler, LHP D.J. Snelten, RHP Mitch Spence and C Austin Wells.
Volpe and Dominguez are the Yankees’ No. 1 and No. 2 prospects, in line with MLB pipeline and each can be on show this Spring. However, we’ll seemingly see extra of the 21-year-old shortstop as he’s in the course of the shortstop competitors with the Bombers’ No. 3 prospect Oswald Peraza and veteran Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
Rafael Ortega often is the identify to observe amongst the veteran invitees. The left-handed hitting outfielder struggled for the Cubs in 2022 posting a .688 OPS in 118 video games. However, in 2021, the Venezuelan native slashed .291/.360/.463 with 11 homers and 33 RBI in 103 video games. With left area open, Ortega could also be value maintaining a tally of this spring.
Pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 16 for the Bombers and Spring coaching video games kick off on Feb 25 as they’ll tackle the Phillies to open the Grapefruit league.
