Yankees Answer Key Spring Question + Simply Wondering About George Lombard Jr.

Luis Gil might’ve answered one of the Yankees’ biggest spring questions. The right-hander hit 97.9 MPH and struck out six in three dominant innings against Boston, showing the velocity jump the Yankees needed to see.

Meanwhile, George Lombard Jr. keeps making noise, squaring up high-90s fastballs from Garrett Crochet and continuing to flash the talent that has fans wondering how fast he could rise.

Plus: Aaron Judge launches a 453-foot bomb at Team USA camp, the World Baseball Classic is loaded (DR and Japan look terrifying), and Elmer Rodriguez impresses against the Red Sox in a Puerto Rico exhibition.
