While it has indeed been a poor start with the bat for Didi Gregorius, offense isn’t Gregorius’ only job. With all due respect to Derek Jeter, shortstop defense had become a considerable problem for the Yankees in recent years. Gregorius is an upgrade in terms of defense at shortstop, and he showed it by ranging 24.67 feet (mostly away from first base) as tracked by Statcast™ in making a spectacular play to rob Toronto’s Kevin Pillar of a hit on Tuesday.
