Andrew Velazquez is a 30-year-old infielder who rejoined the Yankees on a minor league deal, following a challenging season with the Angels and time in Triple-A.
In 2023, Velazquez played a career-high 125 games, despite struggling offensively with a .196 average and a .236 on-base percentage, showcasing his defensive capabilities.
His versatility is a considerable asset; he has experience not only at shortstop but also in all three outfield spots during his time in Triple-A.
Velazquez will likely start the season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as a depth option, ensuring he can contribute defensively despite his offensive struggles.
