Jose Trevino

Texas brought in Mitch Garver in the offseason making Trevino an expendable player which the Yankees gladly accepted after they traded away Gary Sanchez and found themselves in need of a catcher when Ben Rortvedt went down with an oblique injury. Trevino flourished with the Yankees with his best power numbers to date and stellar defense behind the dish which quickly allowed him to overtake Kyle Higashioka as the primary catcher . Trevino does not have any one standout offensive skill, but he hits in a deep lineup when it is healthy and ne can turn on a mistake to pull it out to left field. 7 of his 11 homers came off non-fastball and his execpted statistics on both breaking balls and changeups were much better than his actual numbers which speaks to how he was able to surprise us at the plate. The defense will keep him as the starting catcher, but look for him to maintain his production rather than take another step forward in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
