In his last three appearances, Soto showcased his prowess at the plate with an impressive .333 batting average, including a game where he went 3-for-3, demonstrating not just consistency but an exceptional ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. His on-base plus slugging (OPS) stood out at 1.833 in one of these games, highlighting his significant contribution to the team's offensive efforts.


On the other side, Brenton Doyle of the Rockies has been making waves with his performance. Doyle's batting average of .500 in one of the previous games underscores his potential impact against the Yankees. His ability to get on base and drive in runs has been crucial for the Rockies, making him a pivotal figure in their lineup.

However, it's not just about individual brilliance. The Yankees have seen commendable performances across their roster. Gleyber Torres and Aaron Judge have also made significant contributions, with Torres showing versatility and power at critical moments and Judge consistently getting on base and driving runs home.


The Rockies counter with their own set of stars like Michael Toglia and Sam Hilliard who have been instrumental in their recent games. Toglia’s power-hitting capabilities and Hilliard’s speed on bases pose a considerable threat to any opponent.
