The Yankees have prioritized third base defense in recent years
Briefly

The Yankees have experienced unprecedented turnover at third base since the post-lockout trade, with multiple players making starts due to injuries and performance issues.
Despite a struggling offense and injuries affecting the roster, the Yankees have established themselves as one of the best defensive teams at third base, consistently ranking high in metrics like Outs Above Average.
Yankee third basemen have combined for impressive defensive stats, such as 11 Outs Above Average this year, showcasing their elite level of play despite other roster challenges.
The excellence in defense has been partly attributed to DJ LeMahieu’s performance, who received the AL utility fielder Gold Glove Award in 2022, underscoring his impact on team success.
