Prior to this past week, there didnt seem to be much of an i sue with Jose Trevinos defense. Baserunners had swiped 19 bases with Trevino behind the plate and hed thrown out nine. Then came when the Red Sox ran roughshod over Trevino, Marcus Stroman and the Yankees, stealing nine bases, with only one caught.

Still, the spotlight remains on Trevino as the Yankees try to cut down on that part of the game, with a spotlight on Trevinos reduced arm speed. And catching coordinator Tanner Swanson said Friday hes aware of the scrutiny. Jose Trevino is doing something about his recent defensive struggles. Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports It certainly got attention, Swanson said of Bostons record-setting performance Sunday. Will it influence teams behavior going forward? Maybe in the short term, but I think it will balance itself out. Were Brock Nelson Jersey not overly concerned, but were not ignoring it. Swanson pointed to the fact that since hes still getting his mechanics back. His arm strength has returned its there but through that proce s, he tried to compensate in different ways, Swanson said of why Trevino is having le s succe s than he did in 2022.

The end goal is keeping guys from taking off in the first place since runners have a lot of succe s with some of the new disengagement rules, Swanson said. So were working on the balance of getting the ball down to second as fast as po sible and making sure they dont go often. Keith Kinkaid Jersey
