Tampa: both for being a defensive specialist.
Yes, Trent Grisham has continued playing first level defense in the central garden, but has also continued to balance a hot bat, which makes it difficult for Manager Aaron Boone to keep him out of the alignment.
Grisham did it again in a 4-0 Raw On Sunday, making his third consecutive beginning, when he left the game with a homer and then added a strong and diving capture in the gap that became a double play.
“He has been doing incredible things,” said Aaron Judge. “Especially leading the game with a home run and then making a diving play like that, it is doing everything now for us.”
After the consecutive games, Grisham has six home runs in the year, nibbling Judge’s heels (seven) for team leadership.
The left -handed batter is hitting .320 with an OPS of 1,093 in 20 games.
“It’s a very good leg,” said Manager Aaron Boone before the game when asked about Grisham’s batting leader for the first time as Yankee. “Obviously, I love the way he is playing at this time.”
The garden played difficult at Steinbrenner Field through the four -game series due to an aullant wind, but Grisham made it seem easy.
In Sunday’s fifth entry, he fought against the wind and spread to the gap in the center of the right to steal Jake Mangum from a blow to a Fly Ball, temporarily maintaining Max Fried’s offer without hits alive.
Grisham then stood up and fired an attack on the second base to nail Danny Jansen, who was trying to label in the capture that Insead became a double play.
“Very good play,” said Cody Bellinger. “Really windy and he did a great job when he reached the ball. Not only that, but picking up the head immediately and making a great release. It is not easy to get up and make a perfect shot like that.
The two -way Grisham game has forced Boone to keep the findings to get into the alignment.
On Sunday he entered there with the judge of Aaron sliding to DH by Ben Rice, who was out with an elbow in Aguado, and Belling moved to the right.
In the two previous games, Grisham began with Bellinger and Jasson Domínguez each with one day off.
“The good thing is that we have many really good players and options at this time,” said Boone. “So try to continue balancing it the best you can, try to keep these sharp guys and take them there in the best possible situations.”
