Yankees to Confront Diablos Rojos: Anticipating a Fierce Encounter at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu

As the New York Yankees prepare to face off against the Diablos Rojos in Mexico City, fans are eager to see how their team will perform at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu. The Yankees have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent preseason outings, with an overall record that suggests there's room for improvement.

In their last game against the Mets, the Yankees secured a 3-0 victory with eight hits and two errors. Their hitting statistics were solid with an average of .267 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of 29 percent. However, they left eight runners on base (LOB), indicating missed opportunities to extend their lead.


The bullpen was exceptional, maintaining an earned run average (ERA) of 0.00 over four innings pitched and striking out batters at a rate of 18 strikeouts per nine innings (K9). The pitching staff as a whole also kept the opposition's batting average low at .067.


Looking back further, we see that in one game against Diablos Rojos themselves, the Yankees fell short by one run despite out-hitting them twelve hits to ten. This highlights potential issues with capitalizing on scoring opportunities since they only managed three runs from those twelve hits.


Defensively speaking, fielding has been reliable with only one error over these two games combined and a perfect fielding percentage in one match-up. This defensive solidity will be crucial when playing away from home turf.


The upcoming game is set for March 26th at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu in Mexico City – where altitude can play its part in ball trajectory – adding another layer for both teams' pitchers and hitters to contend with. Fans can catch all the action live on YES App at 7:00 PM CT as both teams look to fine-tune their squads ahead of the regular season.
