3/5 🧵 Why he’s been boxed in: the Yankees signed him late in camp as a right-handed bat meant to punish lefties. Problem is, they barely faced left-handed starters early, so his chances were thin from the jump. Now he’s trying to prove himself in a tiny sample, and the “baseball-card numbers” are rough: 2-for-20, 2 doubles, 1 walk, 8 strikeouts. That’s not a slump you can hide inside limited opportunities.
