After the game, Jazz Chisholm Jr. was asked about Garcia Jr. (via YES Network).
Reporter: “What stood out to you about García Jr. since you’ve seen him over here in pinstripes?”
Chisholm Jr.: “He’s been always a great hitter his whole career. I played against him when I was in Miami and he was in Washington, so I got to see him a lot. To see him come over here and shine the way he is, I’m just happy for him. When he came up, he was only like 20 years old when I met him. It’s pretty sick to see him now, a little more mature and doing his thing.”
Garcia Jr. was traded to the Yankees (via the Washington Nationals) earlier this month.
He has 28 home runs on the season.
