Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was traded to his favourite team, the Yankees, last spring, had a roller-coaster season and was especially hard on himself, which seemed to affect his play.
Therefore, during the offseason, Kiner-Falefa focused on his mental preparation and plans to be himself, no matter what happens this year.
He wants to stay the course and bounce back when things do not go his way, especially when the team reaches the playoffs.
Kiner-Falefa is currently in a battle for the starting shortstop job with Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe, but he plans to put up a fight in the competition.
Kiner-Falefa provided what the Yankees expected offensively but struggled defensively last season.
He lost some of his confidence throughout the course of the season but believes he is a better player than he showed last year.
Boone consistently defended Kiner-Falefa and thought he always bounced back from tough moments.
Hopefully, after going through it for a year, Kiner-Falefa can exhale a little bit in the offseason and be better for the experience.
