Top 5 New York Baseball Players to Watch This 2015 Season

With New York Alum and city treasure, Derek Jeter, no longer doing things his way on the field ( catch the Gatorade/Sinatra reference there…), all of the tri-state area has their eyes on the players this upcoming baseball season.

Class, integrity, leadership… Those are just a few of the words which #2 represented alongside his talent and credibility…

Will New York ever have another Captain like Jeter?  Did Derek Jeter embody what it meant to be a Yankee or a true, native New Yorker?

As the 2015 season approaches, we are hopeful for some strong comebacks and for breathing new life back into America’s favorite pastime.

#5 Mark Teixeira

Yankees

Even though he gets paid the big bucks, can Mark turn things around?

#4 Jacob DeGrom

Mets

This Met broke onto the scene and unexpectedly kicked ass…Will he continue to fulfill the critic’s prophecy?

#3 Masahiro Tanaka 

Yankees

Although, he missed most of last season, he is back and noted for being one of the best pitchers on the Yankees.

#2 Matt Harvey

Mets

Due to his injury, he was also out all of last season. This year is a rebuilding year! Can he recreate the magic in 2015?

#1 Alex Rodriguez  “A-Rod” 

Yankees

After being suspended from steroid use and being linked to a bevy of A-Listers in the last several years,

this season marks his controversial return.

Good Luck to all in 2015! Some big shoes to fill…
