Right now, the Yankees have 17 position players on their 40-man roster. Eleven of them hit right-handed. Two of them, outfielders Aaron Hicks and Greg Allen, are switch-hitters. The remaining four do swing lefty, but each of them -- Mike Ford, Mike Tauchman, Tyler Wade and Estevan Florial -- are backups at best. (That group in 2020 combined for a slash line of .188/.291/.296, a mere .588 OPS.)
