Oswald Peraza has his best opportunity yet to stake claim to a regular role with the Yankees.
If Monday’s game was any indication, the 23-year-old is ready for his shot — though he regressed badly Tuesday.
He saw 34 pitches in total, working three-ball counts each time, putting together the kind of grind-it-out at-bats the Yankees have largely been missing.the Yankees’ ugly 5-1 loss Tuesday“When you couple [that with] the kind of athlete, the defender and the kind of impact he can have on the bases, hopefully that’s something that not only gives us a spark but gives him that little bit of added boost of confidence that he can be that kind of player up here.
“Just working on my routine to get better,” Peraza, who also stole a base Monday, said through an interpreter. “It’s something that I worked on in Triple-A, especially when you’re seeing pitches close in the zone but not in the strike zone.When Peraza was called up on Sunday to replace the injured Josh Donaldson, Boone said he envisioned Peraza playing a lot.
“Actually that helped me out a lot, going down to Tripe-A and working on some other things,” Peraza said. “I feel like given that time and the experience to become a better player, it has allowed me to grow.A day later, Boone said he did not second-guess his decision to not intentionally walk Shohei Ohtani in the seventh inning, when the Angels superstar instead hit a game-tying, two-run home run.
