The Yankees woke as much as an off day Thursday, an opportunity to replicate on a tricky collection in Toronto, chill out and perhaps get away from baseball for a bit.
Slugging catcher Austin Wells discovered a distinct technique to recharge earlier than a collection in opposition to the Phillies on the Stadium.
Wells hosted a camp for college kids in grades 1-8 at Fordham College, utilizing the chance as a form of psychological refresher.
“It’s a great reset getting to be outside, not on a baseball field,” Wells stated. “Getting to help out around here and have fun and take the morning to relax.”
The Blue Jays lead the Yankees by 4 ¹/₂ video games within the AL East due to the Bombers’ missteps in Toronto and the Blue Jays’ 11-4 win over the Tigers on Thursday evening.
The Yankees’ points at Rogers Centre have been largely self-inflicted within the type of seven errors within the collection, 4 of them coming in Wednesday evening’s defeat.
The 4 errors led to 2 unearned runs and an 8-4 Toronto victory.
In addition they led to a well-known chorus from the fan base in regards to the Yankees’ lack of consideration to baseball fundamentals.
The errors have been harking back to these made on the grassroots degree of the sport. Wells recalled his days at that degree Thursday.
“I went to a couple college camps when I was a kid at our local college, UNLV in [Las] Vegas,” Wells stated. “Even then, it was cool, getting to do some drills with some college players. Stuff like this is really cool.”
There may be loads of time for the Yankees to straighten out their defensive points.
Somewhat than focus an excessive amount of on these, perhaps the recommendation Wells gave these attending his camp can also apply to the Yankees.
“Have fun” Wells stated, “You can get lost in the grind of baseball. So, just coming out here and having fun … that’s the biggest, [most] important thing.”
