“May Become a Yankee Fan Again” – Gold Glove Star’s 35-Minute Act After Hornell Catcher’s Blunder Sparks Intense Fan Love

In baseball, star players interact with fans on a regular basis, much like most other sports. This includes taking pictures, talking to the fans, and signing autographs. But some stars go above and beyond while interacting with their greatest supporters. Most recently, a New York Yankees golden glove winner gained fans’ approval by taking 35 minutes out of his day for a touching act of kindness. 

This player took the time to comfort a High School player who made a blunder that lost his team in the National Championship game. Fans have supported the Yankees player’s actions as he tries to make a difference in a young baseball player’s life.

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino consoles Hornell player after a massive blunder

Mistakes are a part of sports. All players commit errors at some point in their careers. Most recently, a catcher at Hornell made an error on the last strike of the state championship game. A dropped last strike cost them the game, in what was a heartbreaking moment. Yankees catcher Jose Trevino, called the young catcher and spoke to him and his teammates for 35 minutes in a touching gesture. Talkin’ Yanks shared a video of the team’s coach narrating the incident on Twitter. 

In a Tweet, they said, “Jose Trevino arranged a phone call with the high school team in Hornell, New York that lost the state championship on a dropped third strike”. They further said, “He talked to them for 35 minutes, exchanged numbers with the catcher and invited them all to a Yankees game”.

The fans’ reactions to this gesture have been wholly positive.

Many fans cheered Trevino on for his kind move:

Others celebrated the Yankees’ catcher in general.

This was a massive move by the Yankees’ Golden Glove-winning catcher as he encouraged the younger generation. But it is in his nature to do good. In December last year, he surprised a Little League team with an amazing gesture. Although his gestures off the field have been amazing, Trevino is struggling at times on the field.

Jose Trevino’s struggles with the bat

Jose Trevino is an elite defensive catcher. He has excellent command behind the plate and earned himself the Platinum Glove award along with a Golden Glove award in 2022. But his batting was on par with the league average. But this year, he has struggled with the bat, in spite of his defensive superiority. Furthermore, he dealt with injuries during Spring Training and in May as well. It will be interesting to see how his batting improves as the season progresses.
