Who is turning heads at Yankees Spring Training???

We are a few games into spring training, and we've seen some really good talent out of the Yankees so far! Let's talk about the highlights after only a handful of games.

I can't hold the excitement for much longer, Juan Soto looks fantastic already! I'm writing this blog after Juan Soto has had only four at-bats this spring, and he already has one home run and five RBIs. His swing looks incredible! Bryce Harper is the only other Major Leaguer with a similar swing, and he, just like Soto, is one of the top hitters in the MLB. With the short right-field fence in Yankee Stadium, I can't imagine how many games I will be jumping for joy like a kid in a candy store because Soto hit a bomb over the wall.

The other significant early surprise of Spring Training is the 18-year-old Yankees first-round draft pick in 2023, George Lombard Jr. The young and talented shortstop has had only three at-bats this spring, yet he already collected his first Major League home run on Monday, in addition to two RBIs. Lombard Jr was a very highly touted high-schooler out of Miami, FL, and even though all of New York is rooting for Volpe to be the new franchise shortstop, it never hurts to have a young talent in the pipeline for a few years down the line.

There is still a lot of spring training left to go, and I'm sure we will see some other young and impressive prospects playing some good baseball.
