Paul Goldschmidt gets look as Yankees’ leadoff hitter against lefties
NY Post
TAMPA — At long last, the Yankees finally faced a left-handed starter on Saturday.
With it came Paul Goldschmidt’s debut as a leadoff hitter, and it wasn’t just to get him at-bats.
Aaron Boone is toying with the idea of using the right-handed hitting Goldschmidt as a leadoff man against lefty starters during the regular season, though he did not come close to putting it in pen.
“We’ll see how the roster shakes out and everything,” Boone said after an 8-7 loss to the Phillies at Steinbrenner Field. “It’s definitely something I would consider. Whether I do it, I don’t know that yet.”
Austin Wells is set to be the leadoff hitter against right-handed starters, taking the opportunity and running with it in camp.
But Saturday marked only the third time the Yankees have faced a lefty starter this spring, giving Boone fewer opportunities to try different things there.
