Players to Watch: New York Yankees vs. Athletics
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — 1B. Rice has been the engine of the Yankees offense, hitting .290 with 16 home runs and 37 RBIs through the first two months. His .383 on-base percentage paired with a .623 slugging clip gives him the most well-rounded bat in the visiting lineup tonight.
Aaron Judge — RF. Judge carries 17 home runs into Sacramento, the high mark on a Yankees club that leads this matchup in team home runs 83 to 57. His .252 average reads modest, but the 34 RBIs show how often his power still changes the shape of the lineup.
Carlos Rodón — SP. Tonight’s starter takes the mound at 0-2 with a 4.15 ERA across 13.0 innings, working back from a slow start to the season. His 17 strikeouts in that span point to the swing-and-miss stuff still being there, even as the 1.46 WHIP shows he has had traffic to manage.
Athletics
Shea Langeliers — C. The Athletics catcher leads the home lineup at .298 with 13 home runs and 28 RBIs, pairing that line with a .369 on-base percentage. His .543 slug puts him in the same conversation as the visitors’ top bats, which is rare territory for a catcher this deep in the calendar.
Nick Kurtz — 1B. Kurtz has driven in 37 runs already, matching Ben Rice for the most in this matchup, and his .274 average comes alongside 8 home runs from the cleanup spot. Even on a club that ranks behind the Yankees in team home runs 57 to 83, his production has been the most consistent run-creating force in the home lineup.
Luis Severino — SP. The home starter brings a 2-5 record and a 4.23 ERA into his outing, with 64 strikeouts across 61.2 innings of work. His 1.44 WHIP runs nearly even with Rodón’s 1.46, which makes tonight a matchup of right-handers walking a similar line between misses and traffic.
