Lombard Jr. Lights Up Yankees Spring Camp with Bomb and Solid Defense
George Lombard Jr. highlighted Yankees camp by hitting a 392-foot homer off Garret Crochet with a 104.2 mph exit velocity and flashing solid shortstop defense; though not expected to make Opening Day, his spring showing adds depth as Cam Schlittler returns from back inflammation, with rotation concerns since Cole, Rodón, and Schmidt may start the season on the IL, and Judge also homered for Team USA in World Baseball Classic exhibition play.
