Giancarlo Stanton pulls game-day double duty in Yankees’ oddity

PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT
Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line.

He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
