The New York Yankees are lacking a key veteran in Anthony Rizzo as they start their march to a twenty eighth championship. The 35-year-old first baseman remains to be contributing to his crew’s success by mentoring his replacements.
With Rizzo out for the ALDS due to injury, the Bombers are turning to a trio of fill-in first basemen: Oswaldo Cabrera, Ben Rice and Jon Berti. Of the three, Rice has probably the most expertise, with 115 video games at first base throughout all ranges. Cabrera has performed 17 video games at first, all within the majors, whereas Berti has by no means performed the place as knowledgeable.
“We’re like the scholars, and he’s like our Mr. Miyagi,” Cabrera mentioned of Rizzo’s tutelage, per the YES Network.
