It was a busy offseason for the Yankees this winter. They added big-time players like Juan Soto and Marcus Stroman after missing the postseason in 2023.

So far, the duo has proved their All-Star status, playing well for their new club. Through 15 games, Soto is hitting .333/.458/.544 with three home runs. Stroman has started three games, compiling a 1-1 record with a 2.12 ERA on 17 innings of work.

However, it has not just been the new faces that have turned heads. The young sluggers like Anthony Volpe and Oswaldo Cabrera have stepped up this season.

Volpe is hitting .353 with two runs after finishing the 2023 season with a .209 batting average. Cabrera has made the most of his time in the starting lineup, hitting three home runs through 11 games, making this a formidable squad.
