They thought he was a fluke. A flash in the pan. A one-season wonder. Yankees devil magic.
Let’s face it. They’re jealous that Gio Urshela is ours, and no, they can’t have him. Fresh off a breakout season in 2019, where the third baseman hit 21 home runs en route to a career-best 132 wRC+, Urshela is at it again. The 28-year-old has slugged three homers in his first nine games, with a rock-solid batting line of .300/.400/.667.
He’s dazzled on the field, too. Just check this out:
The grab and the setup to get enough on the throw to first is a lot more difficult than it looks at regular speed. All of his momentum is taking him to foul territory. #GioUrshela pic.twitter.com/P4GrupEr4g

That’s the kind of play that makes you say, OMGIOOOO! Our friends at BreakingT decided to capture that feeling with a new Yankees shirt, their first dedicated to Urshela.
