- 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.
