He was very successful at playing baseball at college so the New York Yankees selected him in the first round of the 2013 MLB draft. Unfortunately, he tore his quadriceps femoris muscle and he couldn’t play that season. He played in some minor leagues, and after few years he made his MLB debut in 2016. Year after that he made his first multi-home run and he helped his team to win. He set the record for AL Rookie of the month for 10 home runs, and he did it again one month after that. At the end of the season, he won the Player Choice Award for Outstanding Al Rookie, Silver Slugger Award and he was selected as an outfielder on Baseball America’s All-MLB Team.
Year after that, in 2018, he became the first player to set the record of eight strikeouts in a doubleheader, and he received the title of Youngest Yankees player to hit his solo home run after Mickey Mantle in 1956 in All-Star game. But again he didn’t have luck, and he suffered an oblique strain, so he was placed on the injuries list.
