Yankees’ Ryan McMahon ends dismal spring on a high note

Observations from Yankees spring coaching Sunday:

Finishing sturdy

Ryan McMahon had little to indicate for his narrowed batting stance for a lot of the spring, however he completed sturdy, recording a hit in 4 straight video games to complete camp, together with two Sunday.

Cami-lo level

In his first recreation again from the WBC, Camilo Doval had a shaky inning — hitting a batter, giving up a double and strolling one other to load the bases. But he bought out of it unscathed with a strikeout and a double play.

Caught my eye

In the Grapefruit League finale, Ben Rice bought his first (and solely) inning of the spring as a catcher.

After beginning at first base, he moved behind the plate within the sixth inning to catch David Bednar and Fernando Cruz.

Rice did catch bullpen classes and dwell batting practices all through the spring, however he isn’t anticipated to catch a lot, if in any respect, within the early going, though he might combine in some extra because the season goes alongside.

Monday’s schedule

The Yankees face the Cubs in an exhibition in Mesa, Ariz., with spring standout Carlos Lagrange making one final begin earlier than heading to the minors.
