George Lombard Jr. Sent To Minor-League Camp
24 seconds agoThe New York Yankees have assigned shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. to minor-league camp. Lombard has enjoyed a productive spring training with the major-league roster as he went deep twice across 22 at-bats. The 19-year-old has only seen time in the lower levels of the minor leagues but could push for an early-season Double-A debut given his success during camp. Last summer, the former 26th overall selection spent most of his time at Single-A where he held a .232/.344/.348 slash line with 17 doubles, five home runs, and 30 stolen bases. He then earned a 29-game taste of High-A where he posted a .226/.321/.296 slash line. He tallied just eight doubles with nine stolen bases with High-A, but did not hit a home run. If he were to carry this power production into the start of the regular season, he could see a significant look at Double-A later in the 2025 campaign.
