Yesterday, the Yankees completed their third piece of business this winter, trading top-ten organizational prospect Trey Sweeney to the Dodgers for lefty reliever Victor González and infield prospect Jorbit Vivas.
González excels in two areas: inducing groundballs and keeping the ball in the ballpark. Since his debut, his 57.3 percent groundball rate ranks 19th among relievers with at least 80 innings pitched - giving the Yankees three of the top-20 groundball relievers alongside Clay Holmes and Jonathan Loáisiga - while his home runs per nine rate of 0.50 places him 12th during that span.
