It may still be February, but Gary Sanchez is already tearing the cover off the ball
When
Well, even though it's only February and Spring Training games have yet to begin, Sanchez's strength is in midseason form. Stepping into the box for batting practice on Sunday, Sanchez went and smashed the cover off the ball. Sure, it's not a "The Natural"-style home run that breaks the lights, but, well, physics and all that.

Fortunately, the Yankees brought more than one baseball to practice, otherwise everyone would have been seriously peeved.
