Herrera’s homer traveled a projected 394 feet and left his bat at 108 mph, according to Statcast. It was his team-high fourth homer of the spring.

Why?
Because manager Joe Girardi said so but he also had this to say!
A lot of our decisions are made up, I just haven’t had a chance to talk to all parties,” Girardi said. “We’ll sit down and talk in the next day or so and then we’ll make our decision and live with it. Again, it’s not the final decision for the whole year. It’s the decision for Opening Day.”
