Among the adjustments Kiner-Falefa, a lifelong Yankees fan, said he’s had to make is becoming adjusted to the field at Yankee Stadium.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa said playing for the Yankees is “something I’ve always dreamed of,” and that sentiment didn’t change after his first two games as the team’s starting shortstop, despite going hitless and making an error.
Kiner-Falefa had started just 15 games at short prior to last year, but he was the everyday shortstop for the Rangers in 2021, playing 156 games there. Kiner-Falefa was fairly solid defensively throughout spring training and hit well, going 13-for-33 in 11 Grapefruit League games after arriving in the offseason in a trade that also brought Josh Donaldson and Ben Rortvedt from the Twins, in exchange for Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela.
