In a matter of just a month, the Yankees have completely changed their identity. They’ve embraced a new youth movement after selling off Carlos Beltran, Andrew Miller, and Aroldis Chapman and unceremoniously dumping Alex Rodriguez. But rather than racking up losses as the new kids adjust to the majors, the Yankees have gone 11-8 in August and are barely hanging on in the Wild Card race. It’s hard to believe they’ll be a playoff threat down the stretch but their success has given them a new hope for the near future.

NY Key Players

Jacoby Ellsbury – It’s hard to believe that Jacoby Ellsbury once hit 32 home runs with the Red Sox. The only other time he’s cracked double digits was his first year with the Yankees in 2014. His ISO has settled in around .100 and it’s hard to expect anything more now that he’s 32. But it’s not as though he’s unproductive at the plate. He’s pushed his strikeout rate back to his career norm and has managed to stay healthy all year. Still, an empty batting average only carries a batter so far, and it’s certainly not enough to provide $20 million in value.

Gary Sanchez – With the youth movement in full swing, the Yankees have turned to their power hitting catcher Gary Sanchez. In just 66 plate appearances, he’s already launched six home runs and has accumulated 1.3 fWAR—more than incumbent Brian McCann has accumulated all year. While he isn’t a plus defender behind the plate, he’s improved his framing numbers in the minors and should be at least an average receiver for the pitching staff. He’ll continue to take time away from McCann and see time at designated hitter when he’s not behind the plate.

Statistics
