“#Yankees have mixed results with MLB’s redesigned baseball<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

TAMPA \u2014 Sunday marked the first game<\/a> of spring training for the Yankees, as well as their first experience playing with the redesigned baseball MLB is using this season that many believed won\u2019t travel<\/a> as far as in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

Very early results were mixed.<\/p>\n

There were some balls hit during batting practice, Aaron Judge said, that didn\u2019t have as much distance on them as he and his teammates expected.<\/p>\n

But in the game, a 6-4, seven-inning loss to the Blue Jays at George M. Steinbrenner Field, Judge hit one to deep center that surprised him by how close it came to being a homer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt went a little further than I thought,\u2019\u2019 he said of the fourth-inning shot. \u201cI kind of got underneath it. I knew I missed it. But I saw it was near the track and thought maybe someone snuck in an old baseball for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, though, the Yankees didn\u2019t see a noticeable change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what I expected,\u2019\u2019 Judge said. \u201cI noticed a little difference in batting practice. Balls that were turned on didn\u2019t go the same, but in the game, I didn\u2019t notice any difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

The same was true of Gleyber Torres, who said it was hard to tell how the ball reacts during spring training because of differences in ballparks and weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s see [if] there\u2019s a big difference during the regular season,\u2019\u2019 Torres said.\u201cIf you and I flip the ball, you don\u2019t notice much,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cBut guys that handle it for a living will probably have some opinion as the weeks go on.\u201d<\/p>\n

A better test may come Monday, when the Yankees host the Tigers and Gerrit Cole gets the start.<\/p>\n

Cole has already been vocal about not knowing whether he was using the new balls early in camp.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone believes veteran pitchers will shed more light on the subject.<\/p>\n

Mike Tauchman started in center field and followed a Rob Brantly homer with one of his own, as the Yankees went back-to-back in the bottom of the fifth.<\/p>\n

Boone noted Tauchman \u201cdidn\u2019t homer last year\u201d as he attempts to find a spot in the Yankees\u2019 crowded outfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe feels really good early in camp, looks good moving around and looks good swinging the bat,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

Clint Frazier, already designated the starting left fielder, app<\/a>eared to get a bad jump on a shallow fly in the fourth but later in the inning did well to fight off the sun to make a nice catch in deep left.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s earned his place here, but you\u2019ve always got to earn it,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cIn the field [Sunday], I thought he was all right. \u2026 I thought he moved well on a couple balls he did catch.\u201d<\/p>\n

DJ LeMahieu was the Yankees\u2019 first baserunner with a leadoff single to center in the bottom of the fourth after the first nine Yankees were retired. \u2026 Bronx native and Fordham Prep product Andrew Velazquez entered as a pinch runner in the fourth.<\/p>\n
Fans weren\u2019t the only ones allowed back into the stands Sunday. Scouts were also in attendance. \u2026 The Yankees will continue to wear a No. 16 patch on their sleeve in honor of Whitey Ford. They also wore it during the postseason after the Hall of Famer\u2019s passing last October. \u2026 A moment of silence was held for Hank Steinbrenner, former general<\/a> partner and co-chairperson of the Yankees, who died in April after a lengthy illness.\n <\/div>\n
