The Yankees are one of three teams (along with the Royals and Tigers) that have yet to throw out a base-stealer.
The Yankees have stolen 13 bases in 17 tries, but opposing runners are 12-for-12 against Jose Trevino and Kyle Higashioka.
“For both [Trevino and Higashioka], it’s been an offseason objective to improve in this regard, as throwers,” Swanson said of the catchers, who led a Yankees team that nabbed 36 percent of base-stealers last year, which was second-best in baseball. “I think in a lot of ways they’ve done that. We just haven’t made really accurate throws in the early sample so far.”
He is averaging 77 mph on throws to second, and Swanson signaled the wrist injury he suffered this spring could be a factor.
