The kid has been tearing up the Pacific Coast League, showing consistent power for the first time in his career. Congratulations, to the kid. He has had a long road to the majors. Grandpa must be thrilled.

Will Smith got the save, but give credit to Mike Yastrzemski.

A catch that would make grandpa proud.

He's doing pretty well for a 28-year old rookie. A 1.0 WAR in less than a third of a full season.

Little Yaz hit a walk off homer to beat the Mets today .

Mike is on fire. 3 homers last night, OPS up to .873.

[Bellhorn04]

Mike is having a tremendous season.

 

297/412/588 - 1.000 OPS

2.2 bWAR

 

I looked up his contract status. He won't be a free agent until 2026, when's he's 35 going on 36.
