The start of Spring Training appears like a dream come true for the New York Yankees, who lost the first game to the Phillies. But they have returned strong ever since with three consecutive victories, including a no-run sweep of the Braves. However, prior to the Grapefruit League, and even now, their concerns at particular positions, including stop and left field in specific, haven’t disappeared. Nevertheless, an unknown name from the Yankees’ right field stood out in the Yanks’ 8-5 victory against the Detroit Tigers.

22-year-old Tayler Aguilar, with no MLB appearances yet, recently made it to the Yankees’ 40-man roster after getting drafted in round 15 at 460 in the 2022 draft. Now, in only his third Spring Training game, Aguilar has shocked the world of baseball with an absolute bullet arm.

The Yanks are shining brightly in the outfield

With one down in the eighth innings and the Yankees leading 6-5, Colt Keith hit a fly ball to right field. Tayler Aguilar safely catches the ball, and with a bullet arm, throws a missile to end the innings and prevent the Tigers from leveling.

The New York Yankees and their left field dilemma

With Aaron Judge assumed to start at right field (unless he makes the switch to left), and Harrison Bader’s experience in center, the Yanks are left with Aaron Hicks to play in the left field.

Well, Aaron Hicks’ is a volatile name to use near the Yankees fanbase presently. Nevertheless, with Giancarlo Stanton highly available to play at right field, Aaron Judge’s potential shift to left could solve multiple problems for the Pinstripes.

Will Tayler Aguilar find a place in the Yankees lineup once the 2023 season commences? With that arm, he probably should. But the Yanks are already pretty over-staffed in the outfield. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
