MAYBE THE PEREIRA CREW CAN JOLT THIS YANKEE TEAM! VIDEO!

Everson Pereira got his first hit as a professional New York Yankee and his family was so excited, it reminded me of when the Yankees used to win. You gotta see this clip:

A moment to cherish forever 💙

Look, I was alittle down on Pereira because he came up and appeared to be alittle sluggish. What I mean is he wasn't doing anything! I was beginning to wonder why we called this guy up. I wanted instant satisfaction, I guess.  But the kid plays well, and I am looking for more of this.

Jared Bloom of Sportskeeda writes about Pereira:

"Pereira got his first hit in the majors as he roped a double off Jordan Weems in the eighth inning.

Understandably, Pereira's family in attendance went nuts....

This should be the first of many hits to come. He is the team's third-ranked prospect, just behind Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez....

Pereira is aggressive at the plate, which can hurt him at times. His overaggressive nature tends to lead to more strikeouts than most would like to see. This is something he will have to work on as he progresses."

Look, that is one thing I don't want to see. I don't think this Yankee team needs more strikeouts. I firmly believe the Yankees coaches in the lower levels need to concentrate on what makes these kids get signed in the first place. It's been reported that he's building a lot of muscle and power now that he's a Yankee, but I say keep this kid aggressive but getting hits.  Pereira is not big power hitter and sure the Yankees probably want him to convert to that, but that's why we are losing big time on the Yankees farm... we are ruining players.  Let Pereira's approach be to get on base like he's done since the Yankees signed him in 2017.  It will benefit this team in the future, trust me.

Strikeouts? We already do that way too much.

Congrats to Everson and his family! It was a great moment.
