Narvaez’s Triple-A Performance Narvaez has been hitting .267 with a .393 OBP and a .442 slugging percentage across 51 games in Triple-A. His season includes eight homers, 24 RBIs, a 23.2% strikeout rate, a 16.1% walk rate, and 112 wRC+. Spring Training and MLB Opportunity During spring training with the Bombers, Narvaez showcased good at-bats, even hitting a grand slam. He seems to have found his bat with Scranton and appears ready for an MLB opportunity, but the Yankees have hesitated to give him the chance. Defensive Abilities Compared to Wells, Narvaez is a better defender behind the plate, allowing only one passed ball this year. His strong arm and solid framing skills promote his qualities as a potential MLB contributor. Looking Ahead to 2024: A Natural Successor? It is likely that the Yankees will offer Narvaez another opportunity during spring training in 2024. With Higgy’s potential exit, Narvaez may be the natural successor the Yankees need. The New York Yankees’ catcher dilemma requires strategic thinking and exploration of untapped potential. Carlos Narvaez is a name that should not be overlooked. His strong Triple-A performance, combined with solid defensive skills, makes him a promising candidate for the MLB.

The New York Yankees’ catcher dilemma requires strategic thinking and exploration of untapped potential. Carlos Narvaez is a name that should not be overlooked. His strong Triple-A performance, combined with solid defensive skills, makes him a promising candidate for the MLB. Since he’s “rotting away” he can blame last years .194 BA for that. And that was at AA. Plus, Rortvedt is ahead of him. He should get a look next year, maybe sooner if Rortvedt doesn’t start hitting soon, or he or Higgy get injured. And I hope he does start hitting. As far as Higgy goes, I like his power sprees, but his OBP skills are horrendous. That could get him swapped away before his contract expires.. |

Me thinks this thread has wandered from its theme before the game even started… that’s what me thinks…

Remember “George of the Jungle”? The Touki-Touki bird? This one is the only Touki that has ever played MLB as well as the only Toussaint. He can be wild and hard to hit. A bit like Cease in that way…

Stanton looks at three strikes (one was actually low). Great job Stanton.  |

Really no reason to pitch to him if the game is close. |

Nice at bat, Stanton. Standing there with that stick up your ass and watching the ball go by… You looked very scary, though…
