The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Miguel Andujar prior to the 2012 campaign. In 2012, when he was 17 years old, he started his professional baseball career with the GCL Yankees.
In 2013, he made a comeback with the GCL Yankees 2 and hit.323 with 4 home runs and 25 RBI in 34 games.
He spent the whole 2014 season with the Charleston RiverDogs of the South Atlantic League, playing 127 games and batting .267/.318/.397.
He hit 25 doubles and 10 home runs, totaling 75 runs and 70 RBI. He divided the 2016 season between Tampa and the Trenton Thunder of the AA Eastern League after spending 2015 with the Tampa Yankees of the Florida State League.
He had another successful season, batting .273/.332/.410 in 130 games while still being considerably younger than the average AA player. He scored 83 runs while hitting 26 doubles and 12 home runs.
Andujar returned to Trenton to begin the 2017 campaign, where he played in 67 games and hit.312 with 23 doubles and 7 home runs.
Late in June, when the team’s top prospect, Gleyber Torres, who was playing third base, was sidelined for the remainder of the season due to injury, he was promoted to the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
When he received a second promotion, this time to The Show, he hit .308 in 7 games. Torres would have received the first promotion had he not been injured.
On June 28th, he made use of the unexpected chance and had three hits and four RBIs in a 12-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
He only appeared in 5 games with New York, but in those 5 games, he hit.571. He played in 58 games at AAA, hitting .317 with 9 home runs and 30 RBI.
