Estevan Florial’s tools have captured the Yankees’ attention for years. But his sixth big league camp could be his final one with the club.
Every year since 2018, Florial has received an invitation to major league camp. The talent is still there, but the prospect luster has faded for a 25-year-old still trying to prove himself in the majors.
He is trying not to worry about the possibility because he “absolutely” thinks he can crack the 26-man roster out of camp. “It’s just the mentality of coming here and try to make the team,” Florial said after practice Wednesday. “It doesn’t matter if I’m out of options or if I wasn’t. Just come here and do the best I can. In the end, they make the decision.”
He still struggled to make enough contact, striking out 140 times, which remained an issue when he spent sporadic time in the big leagues in May, August and September. Florial had just three hits and 13 strikeouts in 35 plate appearances, finishing with an .097 average in 17 major league games.
