The New York Yankees have historically faced criticism for their defensive performance. Recently, despite some ongoing issues, their defense has shown improvement. A standout example was during a tight game against the Mets where they put on several impressive defensive displays, particularly in the seventh inning. Cody Bellingerâs quick thinking helped prevent a run, displaying teamwork and precision. Although the Yankees ultimately lost the game, these defensive highlights reflect a positive shift in their performance this season, showcasing their ability to execute under pressure.
"J.D. had a really good jump on the ball and the ball carried well, so I was kind of there on the backup on the ricochet," Bellinger said. "It took a good bounce off the wall to where I just pick it up and throw it to Volpe, and Volpe did what he does and makes a perfect throw to home. That's exciting. Just a well-executed baseball play."
Taylor took second on the play, making the second stellar defensive play that much more important. Francisco Lindor banged a grounder back up the middle that, had it gone through, would have driven in Taylor and given the Mets a 3-2 lead.
