New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has revealed the secret to his team’s success in the MLB postseason. Despite facing various challenges during the regular season, the Yankees managed to overcome adversity and qualify for the World Series.
The Yankees got off to a promising start in the regular season but struggled midway through the year. However, they managed to bounce back and secure their playoff spot as the top seed in the American League.
In the postseason, the Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS and the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS, demonstrating their ability to handle pressure and perform at the highest level.
Aaron Boone has revealed the Yankees’ secret formula: the team’s camaraderie and their shared desire to succeed, as noted by The Athletic’s Chris Kirschner and Brendan Kuty. “There’s no denying the closeness that these guys have with one another,” Boone said. “The best team situation you can get into is when you can genuinely say at the end of the year, or any point in the year, not because you desire it but because this is how you feel: ‘I want it for the guy next to me more than myself.’ That exists with this team, and that’s powerful,” he added.
