Quick Summary

On their day off after losing ALDS Game 1, the Yankees utilized their spring training facility in Tampa rather than Tropicana Field to prepare for Game 2. Manager Aaron Boone explained that Steinbrenner Field offers better resources and space for players to train, including access to a specialized pitching machine called Trajekt. Players like Aaron Judge were working out at this facility as he recovers from a calf strain, while the team was also deciding on the pitching order for Games 3 and 4.

Story summary

On Sunday, after losing Game 1 of the ALDS, the Yankees had an official day off but many players still wanted to train. Instead of using Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, they chose to use their spring training facility, George M. Steinbrenner Field, in Tampa for practice. The team felt that this location offered better facilities and equipment for a more productive workout session. Manager Aaron Boone highlighted the advantages of the Trajekt machine, which simulates pitches exactly like those thrown by big league players, including spin, shape, and velocity, along with detailed video analysis—features not available to visiting teams in Tropicana Field. This move underscored the Yankees' commitment to maximizing their preparation ahead of Game 2 on Monday night.

Narrative

Tropicana Field certainly plays differently from just about anywhere else, but the Yankees felt they would get better use out of their facility at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, so they had their pitchers throw there in addition to some position players working out.

The Trajekt — a specialized pitching machine that spits out exact pitches of big leaguers down to the spin, shape and velocity, with a video of their delivery on the front — is not available to visiting teams in MLB stadiums. asserted

But playing here, the Yankees got the perk of having the Trajekt at their disposal, hoping it will serve them better in facing Rays right-hander Freddy Peralta in Game 2 on Monday than it did against Drew Rasmussen in Game 1 on Saturday. asserted
