Randal Grichuk, a veteran of the Yankees, has been struggling with limited opportunities and limited playing time. He was signed late in the season as a righty hitter capable of crushing lefties, but was rarely seen as a starting left-hander in the early going. His performance has been disappointing, with Anthony Volpe set to return from injury and potentially leave the team. GrichUK believes he is performing well and that traditional stats and advanced batted-ball data indicate otherwise. Despite his struggles, there is still hope that someone else might be interested in him due to the underlying stuff. Gricuk's batting performance has improved, with his 61.5 percent hard-hit rate ranking 12th and 30.8 percent barrel rate ranking third.
