Top shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. was promoted to Double-A by the New York Yankees on Sunday bringing the 19-year-old a step closer to the major leagues after a scorching start to the season the Yankees' first-round draft pick in 2023 and the son of former big leaguer George Lombard hit .329/.496/.488 with one home run and 11 stolen bases in 24 games at High-A Hudson Valley He impressed the Yankees in spring training and lined himself up to be fast-tracked with success The Yankees obliged after Lombard showed a more mature approach walking in more than 20% of his plate appearances in Hudson Valley and striking out at 19.8% Between his swing decisions and batted-ball data Lombard impressed evaluators and looked primed for a promotion despite his age Lombard, who turns 20 in June, will be the third-youngest player in Double-A, behind Texas shortstop Sebastian Walcott -- who is increasingly seen as a top-five prospect in the game -- and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Nelson Rada including outfielders Max Clark and Walker Jenkins Arjun Nimmala and Aidan Miller and catcher Kyle Teel New York's incumbent shortstop, Anthony Volpe is hitting .233/.326/.442 with five home runs and ranks among the top 10 at the position in wins above replacement Yankees promote top prospect Lombard to Double-A SomersetMay 5th NEW YORK -- George Lombard Jr. is on the move Ranked as the Yankees' No. 1 prospect by MLB Pipeline the 19-year-old infielder has been promoted from High-A Hudson Valley to Double-A Somerset as first reported Sunday by ESPN's Jeff Passan A source confirmed the move regarding Lombard who had a .329/.495/.488 slash line in 24 games for the Renegades stealing 11 bases (in 13 attempts) while working 23 walks against 22 strikeouts "Great head on his shoulders; loves the game smart heady player," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Monday you've seen him slowly turning into a man and [a] big physical presence ''The ease with which he can make plays and moves in the field doing a good job so far of controlling the strike zone -- George is someone we're super excited about He certainly earned that next step up to Somerset I'm excited for him and the start he's off to Most of Lombard's defensive action has come at shortstop though he has appeared once at second base and once at third base this season third base and shortstop in Major League camp with the Yankees this spring when he batted .231 (6-for-26) with two homers and four RBIs in 14 games MLB Pipeline has forecast Lombard's big league ETA for 2027 but his early-season promotion to Double-A could indicate a willingness to fast-track him toward the Bronx The son of former Major League outfielder and current Tigers bench coach George Lombard Sr. Lombard was the Yankees' first-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft (26th overall) out of Gulliver Prep high school in Miami Lombard's Double-A debut could come on Tuesday when the Patriots visit the Akron Rubberducks (the Cleveland Guardians' Double-A affiliate) at 6:35 p.m The New York Yankees are promoting their top prospect ESPN’s Jeff Passan was the first to report the news 13 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 24 games for High-A Hudson Valley this season Lombard caught the attention of the highest-ranking executives this past spring as the youngest player in the Yankees camp The promotion is quite the endorsement for Lombard The average pitcher in the Eastern League is five years older than Lombard and the average hitter is nearly four years older He’ll be the youngest player in the league when he debuts for Somerset and one of just four Double A players who are 20 years old or younger has played fewer than 60 games in High A and did not play well last season But the Yankees are fast-tracking the shortstop to a much tougher league — a sign they believe he can handle the leap in competition Yankees captain Aaron Judge spoke highly of Lombard back in early March and sometimes you can maybe do a little too much,” Judge said “But he has stepped right in and has kind of owned it all is the Detroit Tigers’ bench coach and played six years in the majors.) It’s still highly unlikely Lombard will make his MLB debut in 2025 it’s not impossible to think he could debut in 2026 (Photo: Kim Klement Neitzel / Imagn Images) Pre-trial release was denied a Chicago woman accused of leading police on a chase from Bloomingdale to Lombard after an alleged retail theft Friday by her passenger The chase also caused a three-way crash that sent one person to the hospital Judge Michael Burton granted state’s motion to detain Autumn Provine She was charged with one felony count of fleeing and eluding police and 19 misdemeanor and petty traffic offenses was charged with a felony for retail theft He was released on the condition he doesn’t enter any Best Buy store according to the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office Bloomingdale police responded to a report of a theft in progress at Best Buy left the store and got into a Lexus RX300 driven by Provine After seeing the Lexus on Army Trail Road near Gladstone Drive Bloomingdale police tried to pull the car over but the driver instead sped up to about 55 mph in a 25 mph zone Police were able to deflate a tire using a spike strip but Provine kept driving east on Army Trail Road They located the Lexus and attempted another traffic stop without success Lombard police said Provine was involved in a three-vehicle crash at Main Street and Roosevelt Road Provine and Cerda left the Lexus and went inside the Jewel-Osco where police found them in bathrooms and took them into custody MLB Trade Rumors By | May 4 Schmidt underwent an MRI that came back clearn I felt OK and I felt like I had my strength,” Volpe said “I’ve never really had anything else pop or dislocate or anything like that An MRI of Chisholm’s oblique revealed three high-grade tears in the area though fortunately the volume of tears does not appear to have significantly altered Chisholm’s timetable for return as the second baseman still expects to return in that four-to-six week time frame Even if the Yankees weren’t already suffering from a dearth of infield depth losing Volpe would be a serious blow given that he’s putting up such encouraging numbers on offense After Volpe’s first two years saw him post well-below offensive numbers buoyed by Gold Glove-caliber defense at shortstop the 24-year-old is actually hitting an impressive .233/.326/.442 with ten doubles That’s good for a 121 wRC+ so far this year and Volpe’s excellent batted ball data suggests he may actually be producing less than his underlying performance would suggest he should be It’s an exciting potential breakout performance for the Yanks and the fans in the Bronx are surely waiting with bated breath for their potential budding star at shortstop to return to the lineup the club does not expect Lombard to help in the majors this year but nonetheless he’s viewed by some evaluators as the club’s only “untouchable” prospect with Kuty suggesting that it would require a “Godfather” offer to convince the Yankees to part with the young infielder Lombard was the club’s first-rounder back in 2023 and is so far hitting an excellent .329/.496/.488 at the High-A level this year with a promotion to Double-A at some point in the near future potentially in the cards refusing to part with Lombard could make it difficult for the Yankees to land a top-flight starter this summer in what figures to be a very competitive market for pitching talent Lombard’s father was also a “can’t miss” prospect So much of it is the ability and willingness to make the necessary adjustments That’s why “can’t miss” was in quotations Regardless Lombard J.R is less likely to be moved If Alcantara or Gallen are going to be traded it’s possible he could be part of a package it wouldn’t be for either of those pitchers The Yankees will want a cost-controlled position player Gallen is a ’25 rental and Sandy hasn’t performed well and Gallen is on a downward trend this season at this stage I have more faith in Lombard’s potential offense than Volpe’s I’ve been saying it for a while but this is Volpe – glove-first Him and Jazz are not the type of players which should receive an extension except Anthony Volpe is there golden boy I won’t be given all the rope in the world for many years to come to prove how much of a genius cash Man thinks he is The Yankees are going to go after the beat pitcher available to help them this year They know they have a small window to make this happen Should have emptied the farm system for Skubal last year Volpe is a perennial 3+ WAR player when you account for his plus defense low-cost asset to the Yankees even though he may never blossom into an All-Star I don’t care what Boone nor Cashman says about him but so far volpe has been way worse than a league-average bat Volpe is currently at 119 OPS+ which is objectively 19% better than league average but you know he’s due for one of his 0 for 100 streaks to knock his OPS plus way down below average advanced defensive metrics suck and is therefore overvalued in WAR Theres a reason Andrelton Simmons had an 8 WAR season which was 0.1 WAR shy of the Altuve and Judge that year (who won the MVP while the other shouldve won) but was definitely no where near their value and got bounced from the league by age 32 Pointing to WAR for a defensive first player is a misguided attempt to evaluate a player If he can maintain a 119 OPS throughout the year then the convo can change around him Its hard to imagine that its gonna stick when he was struggling catching up to 94mph down the plate though metrics suck in small sample sizes but to outright dimiss OAA or DRS is kind of silly believe 2017 Simmons and 2017 Judge were pretty much equal since they were 0.1 WAR apart It does not take into account defensive shifts “all i had to do was move 3 feet closer and the algorithm liked me more” Standing closer would make more balls hit towards you count as “unreachable” and therefore wont count against you Playing deeper would allow tougher hit balls to be in your “range” to where you would then be docked points Im not as well versed with OAA and how its calculated but every advanced defensive metric ive ever did a deep dive into ended up being shaky at best If your talking Judge’s two mvp seasons then make sure you get his WAR right 2022 Judge had a war of 10.6 with 62 HRs and in 2024 he had a WAR of 10.8 Simmons was not close to Judge and you definitely are Yankee hater If you don’t like Judge then at least state the facts correctly mlb.com/news/statcast-introduces-outs-above-averag… There’s a linked recent breakdown of OAA by Tom Tango Nick Martinez is pitching better than both Alcantara and Gallen and it looks like the Reds are managing his pitch count to position him for a trade I can see the Yankees going after Martinez who is one a one year pact Most highly-touted propects are busts and don’t live up to the PR/media hype Bleacher: Jones has never put the bat on the ball enough He’s got talent but his is a way more boom or bust profile Lombard with his dad’s coaching and physical gifts is way more likely to have a significant career I’m not ordering the monument yet but he seems likely to play MLB ball @jerseyjohn There’s no doubt with his power but he needs to continue to work on his plate discipline I’m hoping Warren gets traded at this point while his value is somewhat good so he doesn’t turn into the next Chance Adams send us Michael King back and you can have Warren Never listen to players before they receive scans Unsure it it’s a gamer attitude or disillusion but I’m not concerned and a trio of high grade tears is quite the gap for Jazz Players want to play and most of us thought we were invincible in our 20s Can’t be any worse than Chisholm and Reyes Jorbit Vivas could take Chisolm’s job I remember all these untouchables for Yankees every offseason and deadline please keep making them prospects untouchable Cashman Brian Cashman is notorious for hanging onto prospects well past their expiration date and then giving them up for nothing…… here’s looking at you I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that imo fear of losing a trade has kept cashman from pulling the trigger on win-win trades (soto a notable exception but that trade may be ordered by hal) when that is what prevent your leader from improving the team and another reason why Cashman needs to go but it’s net worth speaking about since it will never happen He wouldn’t look bad in the back of the rotation Will Warren is the next overrated young pitcher to end up in Mexico or the KBO With the name “Yoendrys Gomez” was there ever a doubt that he’d wind up with the Dodgers Id make the pitching prospects untouchable All should be developed and pitch for the Yankees Volpe “inpressive” 233,,!!!ufff There was a time when a 230 hitter was someone you would cut The best thing Cashman could do is package Spencer Jones and GLJ for an impactful infielder or starter You would have a $400mil payroll with no depth at all Last thing the team needs is another wrong side of 30 inflated contract with nothing to back them up anything to get him off the Yankees and get a real GM who knows what he’s doing hopefully the team declaring lombard untouchable is just posturing for leverage no prospect should be untouchable while the judge window shrinks they always do the opposite of what needs to be done Costanza would make for a better GM than Cashman Any astute fan who watched Lombard’s ABs this spring & in MiLB ABs can see that this kid the “can’t-miss” label is overused (just as GOAT & Superstar became trite terms through overuse) but Lombard clearly has that “something special” in his swing and his overall makeup that earmarks him for MLB success There’s No Way I’d trade Lombard for Alcantara & his 8.31 ERA this year since he’s given up As Many Hits as Innings Pitched for the 1st time in His Career That strikes me as a warning sign that he’s either injured or ready for a major regression And that trend (in giving up more hits relative to his IP) was evident in his 2022 to 2023 numbers and his ERA jumped by almost 2 runs a game..Those aren’t good trends for future success. Have Yankee fans noted that JP Sears has an ERA under 3 and a WHIP of 1.0 I’d still like to know why so many people thought it was a great idea to let Gleyber Torres walk to make room for Jazz at second base We have our SS of the future in Lombard Jr PLEASE leave him at short and stop playing guys out of position We might be able to at least get something for Volpe but will never get even a Single A player for Peraza This season is basically over in my opinion with a pitiful 19-15 record Go out and get a REAL second and third baseman We are NOT a player or two away from winning a World Series which is all that should be important to Yankee fans I’d love to see us be sellers at the trade deadline it was a mistake to let Gleyber Torres get away and keep absolute scrubs on the team like Chrisolm thinking they could ever match Gleyber’s production at the plate Log in Register MLB Trade Rumors is not affiliated with Major League Baseball Register looks like he could be a superstar in the future and that has been on display early this season After reaching High Single-A last year, it has taken just 24 games during this campaign for the Yankees to promote him to Double-A Somerset, per Jeff Passan of ESPN Lombard has slashed .329/.495/.488 with a homer 13 RBI and just 22 strikeouts compared to 23 walks and in the midst of only his second full one New York has decided to aggressively move him through their pipeline The 2023 first-round pick, who was selected No. 26 overall, comes from a baseball family. His dad, George Lombard, played in the MLB for six years before he got into coaching, where he currently serves as the bench coach of the Detroit Tigers has impressed at times during the early stages of his career but he's taken his game to the next level in 2025 "More confident, stands straighter," a talent evaluator said, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic (subscription required) "Looks like he has a plan for when he goes up there There's a presence to him — you already know he was a high pick It doesn't seem like the plan is for the Yankees to get him to the Majors this year He's only played 147 professional games to this point So taking the next step up in competition will be Lombard's first test to see if he'll be on a rapid promotion plan again or if he needs more time on the farm and there's a chance he could be the next star infielder of this franchise if he continues developing at the rate he already has The content on this site is for entertainment and educational

the attention of both manager Aaron Boone and captain Aaron Judge Lombard began the season back in High-A with the Hudson Valley Renegades at the same level he ended the 2024 campaign he only had 29 games under his belt with Hudson Valley so it was far from controversial for the Yankees to want to see how the changes might have improved his output at the same level Lombard’s 2025 stint with the Renegades proved to be short-lived ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported a few minutes ago that the Yankees were promoting him to Double-A Somerset The New York Yankees are promoting shortstop George Lombard Jr. 11 stolen bases and a 23-to-22 walk-to-strikeout ratio at High-A The move should come as no surprise to anyone who has been watching the Yankees farm system in recent years While the Yankees have a reputation for bringing their prospects along slowly they have been more aggressive promoting prospects once they have shown conclusively that they have conquered the level A .329/.496/.488 slash line with more walks than strikeouts certainly counts as conquering High-A not only have his numbers popped off the page but rival scouts have been raving about everything to his poise on the field to his increased power after an offseason working with a professional training staff the jump from High-A to Double-A alone is considered one of the most difficult to make in pro ball — even more so than

report from ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Yankees have made the call to promote shortstop George Lombard Jr. to Double-A Somerset the son of the former big leaguer of the same name has been one of the

best the upper levels have to offer Track Record: Lombard is the son of former big leaguer and current Tigers bench coach of the same name The younger Lombard was one of the youngest players in the 2023 draft class and was selected by the Yankees 26th overall out of Miami’s Gulliver Prep Lombard signed for $3.3 million and made his pro debut in the Florida Complex League He split his first full season between both Class A affiliates including a turn in the South Atlantic League finals with Hudson Valley Scouting Report: The back of Lombard’s baseball card doesn’t jump off the page but scouts outside the organization were heartened by what they saw on the field the 19-year-old posted mature at-bats and showed strong leadership traits on the field and in the dugout His swing got off-kilter early in the season thanks to a stride that had gotten too long and caused his bat path to get out of whack Those problems led to a high number of swings and misses Lombard has a flat path and enough strength to predict a player capable of shooting line drives from gap to gap He shows hints of power that should become more frequent as he adds strength to his still-growing frame and loft to his swing Lombard is a sound defender at shortstop with sure hands an above-average throwing arm and average range but he has a strong internal clock and intangibles forged from years around the game tools and intangibles still give him plenty of runway toward his ceiling as an above-average big league shortstop with a well-rounded set of skills Scouting Grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 55 |

The team will open a three-game set against the San Diego Padres (22-11) on Monday. the organization promoted top prospect George Lombard Jr On Sunday night, just hours after the New York Yankees dropped another series in disappointing fashion (this time to the Tampa Bay Rays) The 2023 first-round pick is the No. 1 prospect in the Yankees' farm system and gained momentum after his impressive spring training He logged his first full season of professional ball last year appearing in 110 total games between Single-A Tampa (81) and High-A Hudson Valley (29) His offense was lagging and some began to ask questions as to why the Yankees drafted yet another shortstop when they had other glaring needs But the offseason seemingly changed everything Lombard is hitting .329/.496/.488 with 22 runs scored 13 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 24 games to begin 2025 He's seen a drastic improvement in his contact and walk rates He's made just one error in 190 innings at shortstop while also playing a couple of games at second and third base Though he's still far off from his MLB debut one could say this promotion is the first dose of genuine pressure for Anthony Volpe the Yankees willingly passed on an historic shortstop free agent class and opted for a stopgap option in Isiah Kiner-Falefa It killed their window of contention at the time as they cleared the path for an impressive prospect with no major league experience Volpe is very much a talented player, but he's not Corey Seager. Dansby Swanson or Carlos Correa. Instead of the Yankees figuring out a way to get creative by adding an all-world talent while working Volpe into the mix, they anointed a 20-year-old as their shortstop of the future before he even reached Triple-A The Yankees have given him the runway and leeway to make mistakes and go through his growing pains He's never been benched for performance issues He's never been given a breather in the midst of a slump some fans are growing frustrated with his progress While he's won a Gold Glove and is certainly a good defender he doesn't feel like an elite option in that department Some also might say he looks improved on the offensive end to start 2025 but he's still struggling to make contact and his strikeouts remain a major concern short spurts while his agonizing struggles prolong for weeks We'll see how Year 3 goes for Volpe when all is said and done If he can find some consistency on offense and avoid making late-game defensive gaffes (he's already made two this year to cost the team) then he could put himself in a favorable position to truly break out for his remainder of time under team control If not? Well, if Lombard Jr. starts to light up Double-A and forces the Yankees' hand to bump him to Triple-A by the end of the season then the pressure could start to take hold for Volpe who has yet to experience a shred of it when it comes to job security © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands The 2023 first-round pick is the No. 1 prospect in the Yankees' farm system and gained momentum after his impressive spring training Volpe is very much a talented player, but he's not Corey Seager.

I love playing shortstop but I pride myself on being a good baseball player,” Lombard Jr but I am confident that if I had to go play outfield tomorrow can also play other infield positions – having already seen time at second and third this year (but) you never know with this game,” said Renegades manager James Cooper While there may be some discussion regarding his future position “got after it in the weight room,” is eliminating all questioning regarding his performance at the plate “He’s hitting the ball really well; he’s making great decisions.” The strength and know-how have translated into strong numbers early on Lombard Jr.'s exit velocity has clocked in at over 110 mph 20 walks to 18 strikeouts and a .956 OPS entering Monday It amounts to a great deal of optimism from both Yankees fans and those who witness his prowess each day “In terms of his potential at the plate – it’s really staggering,” said Joe Vasile “What I have been so impressed with is his natural power to right field and to right-centerfield I think in Yankee Stadium that’s the kind of thing that could make him(a) 25-30 home run per year guy.” While the youngster continues to garner accolades including receiving a huge compliment from Aaron Judge during spring training and especially enjoys performers including J But it’s his maturity that makes Lombard Jr. During a recent interview with USA TODAY Sports mentioned multiple times that he is “staying where my feet are and staying present.” Not an easy task for someone so young and talented and for a player with such lofty expectations “He never looks like he’s out of control on the field,” said Vasile “He never looks like he’s overly emotional; just kind of cool And he’s very much the same off the field too.” that ability to be laser focused on the task at hand is a direct reflection on the tutelage he was provided by his parents “I give a lot of that credit to my dad and my mom too,” said Lombard Jr “She probably doesn’t get as much credit as she deserves – probably never will She has just been such a staple in my life.” played 144 MLB games from 1998-2006 with the Atlanta Braves Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Washington Nationals before beginning his coaching career serving as the Los Angeles Dodgers' first-base coach from 2016-2020 and Detroit's bench coach since 2021 The younger Lombard's ability to excel on the field and expertly handle the attention - all at such a young age has impressed just about everyone he’s come in contact with this season – including his teammates “It’s unbelievable,” said Renegades infielder Jose Colmenares The Renegades season began a few short weeks ago there soon may be calls to promote him to Double-A Somerset says a callup to Somerset this season would be “great,” the eventual goal is to play at what legendary sports talk show host Art Rust Jr “the big ball orchard in the South Bronx.” but if the opportunity does present itself knows it will be memorable for numerous reasons including the famous “Roll Call” chant initiated by the “Bleacher Creatures” but from what I’ve heard it’s something that you feel deep down and it sticks with you I couldn’t tell you how it’s going to feel but I can tell you that I would be pumped for it and really excited to get there one day.” The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast. Download for award-winning coverage, crosswords, audio storytelling, the eNewspaper and more at bat during the game versus the Jersey Shore BlueClaws at Heritage Financial Park in Fishkill on April 4 A determined return to the mound amid personal adversity set the stage for a renewed season chapter as a key relief pitcher rejoined the squad after a deeply..

he could slip his left hand over the plate seemingly trying to plead his case that the catcher had been blocking his path to home plate and soon he accepted the decision and walked back to play shortstop The moment appeared to be an example of what a rival executive had said about the top New York Yankees’ prospect not long before and he’s playing with more of an edge — in a good way,” the executive said Other rival evaluators heaped similar praise on the 19-year-old Lombard the Yankees’ top prospect who has had a hot start at High-A Hudson Valley and could be in the major-league starting infield by next season “Looks like he has a plan for when he goes up there There’s a presence to him — you already know he was a high pick “He’s not going to be (at High A) for long,” another

and a .939 OPS through his first 22 games The performance has come after he turned heads in major-league spring training with impressive exit velocities and poise But it would likely be asking too much for Lombard to help in the majors this season according to several Yankees officials and outside evaluators polled by The Athletic That’s despite the Yankees needing a righty-hitting complement to Oswaldo Cabrera at third base One Yankees official pointed to his age and relative inexperience (145 minor-league games) and said it would probably be “unfair” to expect him to contribute to a potential World Series contender so soon The Yankees drafted him 26th in 2023 out of Gulliver Preparatory School in Pinecrest is the Detroit Tigers’ bench coach and played six years in the majors The Yankees would need a “Godfather” offer if a team wants to trade for him at the deadline One rival evaluator said he believes Lombard is the Yankees’ only untouchable prospect Outfielder Jasson Domínguez and Lombard each appeared mostly off-limits last year said he’s felt more comfortable this season at High A than he did after making a cameo there late last season Part of his increased pop at the plate has come from getting into the gym that’s for sure,” Lombard told The Athletic early Wednesday morning “But I think a lot of it comes with the more experience I get offensively Lombard’s best memories of his first major-league spring training were the times he spent working defensively with Anthony Volpe and the conversations he had with Aaron Judge He said he spoke with Stanton about moving quickly through the minor leagues with the Miami Marlins and “dealing with failure.” He added that Stanton told him he didn’t have his everyday routine in the majors figured out until he was a veteran done that for a long time,” Lombard said of Stanton Got to the league at a young age and had some really good years He’s a guy that you can kind of ask about anything and he’ll have a good answer for you His mentality is as good as anyone in the game said it was clear that Lombard spent his childhood around big-league clubhouses from his poise He added that he’s a “lead-by-example and a vocal” leader “When you’re drafted as early as he’s drafted,” Cooper said “some guys already give you that kind of respect But he’s a guy who’s gone out and earned it.” Cooper added that the plan for Lombard was to still give him some reps at third base and second base “There are lessons that the baseball player can learn and see how the field rotates from short to second from second to third and things of that nature,” he said But we think there are lessons he can learn at third and second that can also make him a better shortstop.” Lombard posted just a .693 OPS in 81 games at Low-A Tampa last year before getting promoted to High A but that was likely because he was young and needed time to adjust from playing in the complex league you can tell maybe he did some extra lower body workouts this past offseason,” the manager said When you look at how minor-league baseball has changed over the years where you had that short-season level where guys would go before Low A There’s not really a buffer to get you ready Low A is a little bit tougher now than what it used to be and I think he’s had a chance to catch up to it (Photo: Kim Klement Neitzel / Imagn Images) Brendan Kuty is a

was about an hour before Aaron Judge crossed the white lines for his first Grapefruit League game of the spring on Saturday afternoon and the Yankees’ captain was shagging a few extra fly balls on a practice diamond just beyond the right-field seats at George M Judge’s attention was drawn to third base, where Yankees prospect was fluidly scooping up grounders firing pellets to Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr Lombard is the youngest player in big league camp but Judge sensed the kid already seems to belong He was hitting every single guy in the chest Smooth hands; Anthony Volpe is one of the best shortstops I’ve ever seen and you put [Lombard] right next to him at third base it’s pretty cool to see that on the left side of the infield.” Lombard soon made his presence felt on the other side of the ball crushing a third-inning home run in the Bombers’ 9-3 win over the Astros Lombard tagged a 414-foot drive that struck the left-field scoreboard and came off the bat at 108.4 mph “That was a no-doubter,” manager Aaron Boone said physical kid continuing to develop into his body [He has] unbelievable makeup and work ethic; just a really talented athlete He’s an exciting player with an exciting future.” This is the first full big league camp for Lombard who was the Yankees’ first-round selection (26th overall) in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Gulliver Preparatory School in Pinecrest Drafted as a shortstop, Lombard got into a few games with the big league club last spring (and hit his first pro homer) He spent most of his 2024 season with Single-A Tampa where he slashed .232/.344/.348 (72-for-310) with 17 doubles Lombard also played 29 games with High-A Hudson Valley It’s a level he’ll likely see again when camp breaks learning what I need to prepare my body to play every single day,” Lombard said “It’s just getting those experiences under your belt for the first full year Once you’ve had that and you’ve learned from that I can move on and just be more prepared for this year You kind of know what it’s going to be like now Another summer of long bus rides and greasy bag meals are on deck but while he’s in the big league clubhouse Lombard is trying to make the most of his opportunity He recently shared lengthy breakfasts with Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger picking the brains of both veterans about their hitting approaches and preparations Lombard has also been watching Judge closely “It’s just been great to have a wealth of knowledge around me that I can learn from I’ve been trying to take advantage of it as much as I can just being a sponge to

Double-A; Jazz Schmidt injury updates; Loáisiga progressing in rehab New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: There was a terrifying moment from Saturday’s game against the Rays, Anthony Volpe injuring his left shoulder on an attempted diving stop in the eighth inning and remaining on the ground in pain for over a minute. However, it appears he and the Yankees dodged a bullet with X-ray and MRI imaging coming back clean Volpe said he heard a pop in his shoulder when he landed awkwardly on his outstretched arm and sat out of Sunday’s loss as a precaution with some lingering pain still in the joint He is being considered as day-to-day and even planned to get in some light hitting work at the Stadium following the midday game Baseball America | Josh Norris: Volpe’s wasn’t the only shortstop news we learned from the Yankees on Sunday The organization is promoting top prospect George Lombard Jr to Double-A Somerset following a strong start to the season that sees him slashing .329/.495/.488 with a home run a 184 wRC+ and more walks than strikeouts in 111 plate appearances across 24 games at High-A The son of former MLB outfielder and current Tigers bench coach George Lombard Sr. was the Yankees’ first round in 2023 and is now the organization’s No 1 overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline breaking into the top-100 overall at the start of the year and a new batting stance in spring training and is considered by some as the Yankees’ sole untouchable prospect MLB Trade Rumors | Nick Deeds: There are two more injury updates we can provide alongside the Volpe news Clarke Schmidt is confident he can take the ball to start on Tuesday against the Padres after he was scratched from his scheduled Saturday start against the Rays after experiencing soreness in his left side MRI imaging came back clean with no further setbacks being reported Then came confirmation of news we already feared as we learned the results of Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s MRI tests The images revealed three high grade tears in the right oblique muscle so despite the second baseman’s assurances he feels fine it reinforces the four-to-six week recovery timetable initially reported Yahoo!

Friday before crashing into a vehicle occupied by three teenage girls was ordered held in jail Sunday faces two counts of aggravated fleeing and eluding a police officer along with more than a dozen misdemeanor and petty traffic offenses including reckless driving and driving with a revoked license Authorities said the chase began at about 11:49 p.m Friday when Villa Park police officers attempted a traffic stop on Galvez for speeding near Route 83 and Riverside Drive driving through a red light and reaching speeds above 104 mph while southbound on Route 83 near Butterfield Road The chase ended when Galvez drove around a parked Oak Brook squad car ran a red light at Route 83 and 31st Street and crashing into a vehicle carrying three teenage girls Prosecutors said Galvez was out on bond related drug and aggravated fleeing and eluding charges at the time of his arrest Saturday but then crashed his car into an occupied vehicle with enough force to deploy that vehicle's air bags are outrageous,” DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said Villa Park police Deputy Police Chief Daniel McCann thanked Oak Brook police for their assistance we take any situation that endangers public safety extremely seriously.” Galvez's next court appearance is scheduled for May 27 Wheaton has joined a growing list of suburban towns enacting a municipal 1% percent sales tax on groceries to replace a state-imposed tax set to be repealed at the start of next year JB Pritzker last August signed into law a measure eliminating the tax on grocery items but also granting municipalities the authority to implement their own “It's nice for the governor to say he's doing away with the tax,” Mayor Phil Suess said the estimated loss of revenue from the elimination of the tax would cost the city anywhere from roughly $1.6 million to $2.2 million The city council unanimously passed a local grocery tax ordinance developed from a template prepared by the Illinois Municipal League The ordinance “essentially maintains the status quo,” Suess said Westmont also has approved a municipal grocery tax to take effect Jan trustees are scheduled to vote on a proposed grocery tax ordinance on second reading at their April 17 meeting The village’s finance and administration committee has recommended that the board approve it If the village did not implement a grocery tax, Lombard would lose approximately $1 million to $1.3 million in annual revenue, potentially leading to budget cuts and reduced services, according to an FAQ As a community that lacks home-rule powers Lombard is “kind of limited in options in terms of recouping any of the lost revenue from that,” said Trustee Anthony Puccio who will be sworn in as village president next month and ran unopposed in this month’s election “So I think based on that and our inability to take some of the other creative approaches that some of the home-rule communities have … I will be supporting this,” Puccio said last week Current Village President Keith Giagnorio said he hates taxes “as much as anybody else.” and it will affect our budget if it goes away,” he added The Illinois Department of Revenue will administer and collect the municipal grocery sales tax on behalf of municipalities that enact it “ensuring a streamlined process for retailers,” the village’s FAQ states Municipalities must pass an ordinance and submit it to the state by Oct the revenue source now brings in approximately $1 million a year Finance Director Allen Altic told the village board in February “Citizens will not experience a difference in taxes with their grocery purchases when this transition occurs,” Altic said in a statement “This mechanism simply authorizes municipalities to continue a tax that was already previously being collected.” – The kid had already made an impression at Yankees camp with his skillful defense and an eagerness to absorb as much as possible on the big-league side launched one off the left-center field scoreboard during a recent exhibition game against the Houston Astros – a shot that drew him a little more attention “I didn’t really check to see where it landed,’’ said

supporting the special education director and high school assistant principal both in their first year; and backfilling his role as FHS principal His vision for the district includes combatting what he called “perception problems” around the district “The number one thing that's really driven me to want to stay in Fennville and speak Fennville’s story outside of here is the perception problems,” he said there’s still perception problems of ‘other schools do better other places have this or that.’ That just really drives me nuts in a creative way so people understand what we’re about move us forward and start making some decisions that might set us apart a little bit.”  When asked why he didn’t apply for the superintendent job during the last opening having just started his role as high school principal it was not right for the high school staff that had to go through multiple transitions.”  a motion was made to hire Lombard as superintendent with Board Vice President Ross Thiele as the lone dissenting vote A subsequent motion to authorize board leadership to negotiate a contract passed 7-0 several board members shared their thoughts on hiring Lombard Secretary Toby Hutchins said Monday’s interview was “reassurance” that Lombard was a good fit for the role there’s just that reassurance that this is someone who’s spent their entire career here We can’t find that anywhere else,” he said there are so many boxes that get checked.”  Support Local News: Receive unlimited digital access to your local news coverage Board President Manny Sanchez said he echoes those comments adding that hiring Lombard is not a “hire of just because,” but “because this candidate Trustee Angie Pena-Smith said she appreciated Lombard’s vulnerability and willingness to admit areas where he needs to grow and ask questions For more information on Fennville’s superintendent search, visit fennville.org — This story was updated to correct an inaccuracy — Contact reporter Mitchell Boatman at mboatman@hollandsentinel.com Lombard to Participate in NCAA Above the Rim Summit4/4/2025 1:29:00 PM | Women's Basketball Alton was preceded in death by his beloved parents and Sally (Desranleau) Young and stepfather Robert Young known for his resilient strength and endless love His legacy lives on through the countless lives he touched as a father and humor left an indelible mark on those around him Alton taught his children invaluable life lessons He instilled in his children the values of hard work He took great pride in his children's academic achievements supporting each of them in securing their degrees despite the challenges of being a first-generation household Alton's character shone through his kindness He approached life with a smile and inspired everyone around him most recently raising 39 yaks on his 250-acre farm on Prospect Hill his love for the outdoors extended beyond the boundaries of state lines to Pennsylvania for his annual hunting trip with family and friends His incredible hunting stories will continue to be shared with future generations for years to come Alton graduated from O'Brien's Cosmetology School and had a fulfilling 40+ year career in Milton forged meaningful connections with his clients and preached the "good news" of the gospel from behind the chair Alton's tenacious faith led him to attend Charis Bible College later in his life contributing philanthropically to the Church of Rock in St Albans and offering guidance to anyone who crossed his path Alton's presence was a source of joy and inspiration for everyone he met lighting up rooms with his contagious smile and quick wit leaving a lasting impact on all who knew him His ability to foster connections was unmatched Alton shared a special bond with his doctors but with gratitude for every moment shared and every lesson learned reminding us to embrace life fully and carry on his legacy of love and compassion you will be deeply missed and forever loved Alton requested donations be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation A Celebration of Life will be held on May 31 Please RSVP to Rachel Becker or one of Alton's children for planning purposes photos and favorite memories may be shared through www.gossfs.com “He’s a great kid,” He’s a hard worker who goes and does his thing USA;

No injuries were reported in a fire that caused significant damage to a Lombard house Saturday and estimated losses were pegged at more than $150,000 Lombard firefighters were called shortly after noon on Saturday to the 500 block of South Brewster Avenue for a report of a house on fire with visible flames coming from the exterior of the chimney Fire department crews began arriving at 12:11 p.m and found heavy fire along the exterior of the chimney Firefighters quickly used multiple hose lines including one directed at the large exterior fire and two more advanced to the second floor While interior crews worked to extinguish flames that had spread into the attic firefighters on the outside used ladders to access the roof and cut ventilation openings to release smoke and heat Additional fire companies searched the home and confirmed that all occupants and pets were safely out of the structure Crews placed tarps throughout the interior to help protect belongings from smoke and water damage The fire was brought under control at 12:37 p.m The Lombard Fire Investigation Unit is investigating the cause of the blaze Lombard personnel received support from the Elmhurst and Villa Park fire departments as well as the Glenside and York Center fire protection districts Lombard police provided traffic and crowd control George Lombard Jr. turned heads at Spring Training with the Yankees thanks to his bulked-up frame looking much stronger than he did during his first pro season last year He struggled at times to consistently impact the baseball during the 2024 season but the Yankees still promoted him from Single-A to High-A Those struggles continued until the postseason came around as Lombard would catch fire to help the Hudson Valley Renegades reach the South Atlantic League Championship The faith the Yankees placed in George Lombard Jr to handle the challenge of a new level has paid off with the 19-year-old getting off to a blazing-hot start with a .500 OBP and 180 wRC+ through 21 games His latest performance was a two-hit outing where he reached base in three of his four trips to the plate making excellent swing decisions and showing off a quick yet compact swing that scouts have raved about since March A first-round pick for the Yankees back in 2023 was selected out of high school as one of the youngest draft-eligible players who signed that season The organization was aware that Lombard would need multiple seasons at the very least to climb through the system and reach the Major Leagues but the talent he possessed was worth waiting for His first season as a pro was one full of challenges for the teenage shortstop dealing with an injury alongside struggling to produce the eye-popping stats some of his fellow 2023 first-rounders had What gave the Yankees comfort in promoting Lombard Jr was that his damage rates and swing decisions graded out as above-average and his makeup could allow him to make the adjustments needed to turn a strong process into excellent results Following a busy offseason full of improvements and changes the lanky 18-year-old shortstop with a swing that had serious holes had transformed into a physical specimen that had a swing scouts immediately fell head over heels for in Spring Training His progress has culminated in an excellent start to his season with the Hudson Valley Renegades one where he’s reached base in 50% of his plate appearances while hitting .309 The game power hasn’t come around yet but his .147 ISO is much improved from last season and the weather Hudson Valley has had to endure early in their schedule has limited the flight path of flyballs in the first month of the year ALSO READ: Yankees slugger is doing unprecedented things at the plate has a simple swing but can generate so much force with it as a result of the added strength allowing him to do tons of damage on contact The Yankees are hoping that skill can materialize into more home runs as if we see the game power truly come around He’s got a patient approach to go with his excellent swing as Lombard has more walks than strikeouts through his first month of the 2025 season The strikeout rate and Swinging Strike% are also improved from last season and he’s remained both an aggressive and effective runner on the basepaths despite the added muscle He is fourth among High-A hitters in total walks (22) and has the third-highest OBP among qualified hitters being the youngest hitter in the top 10 at that level Lombard’s youth fuels a lot of the hype here but not just because of what he can become but because of what he already is as a 19-year-old who won’t turn 20 for another month he’s the definition of a hard worker and has been praised internally for the maturity he’s displayed at such a young age A quiet yet highly-respected person in any clubhouse has been around baseball his whole life as his father played at the professional level and has remained an MLB coach even being named as the first base coach for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic The personality is eerily similar to the likes of Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter and that combination of talent and character matters Shortstops are considered the captain of the infield it’s a leadership position that comes with pressure and defensive expectations The challenges of playing such a demanding position have caused most to move off the position or sacrifice their offensive output is looking to be both a productive defender and an excellent hitter Anthony Volpe could end up moving him to third base but the Yankees will continue developing him as a shortstop since it gives them the most positional flexibility He’s not just a fun prospect that you keep an eye on; this is a prospect whose talent rivals recent standouts such as Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez What the Yankees decide to do with George Lombard Jr but if he continues to be a threat at the plate and develop his power the excellent speed and defense will push for a swift promotion to Double-A with the Somerset Patriots meaning he will reach that level a full year before he’s able to even legally purchase alcohol in the United States More

decisions, from introducing the highest global trade tariffs in a century to dismantling climate regulations As global markets absorb the impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ announcement imposing at least 10% tariffs on US imports with much harsher duties on some 60 nations a new high-stakes showdown is emerging: America’s retreat from climate action Trump 2.0 has set his sights on dismantling key environmental regulations raising concerns about the US’s role in the fight against climate change the newly appointed head of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced sweeping changes to existing Federal policies to fight climate change including the scaling back or elimination of 31 environmental rules The aim: to reclaim a portion of the USD 20 billion in funding allocated during the Biden administration for clean energy and transportation through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.  Your information will be used according to our Privacy Statement “Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,” he said “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down the cost of living for American families The move came after the US announced plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change – for the second time after controversially pulling out of the Accord during Trump’s first term citing ‘economic concerns.’2 In a November 2024 interview but people sometimes can lose important organs or lose the legs and survive,” he said “We don’t want a crippled Paris Agreement.”3 This is a valid concern given Washington historically provides more than 20% of the body’s USD 100 billion operational budget renewables like wind and solar energy have grown exponentially and clean energy investments have nearly doubled compared to fossil fuels which is emerging as a leader in renewable energy counteracting its substantial greenhouse gas emissions despite still relying heavily on coal to meet its growing energy demands China has made significant strides in expanding its clean energy infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities investing USD 818 billion in renewables in 2024 Trump’s new energy strategy centres on achieving energy independence He has consistently positioned fracking as the cornerstone of his Energy Dominance Agenda and directed his administration to increase fossil fuel production and pump new life into the most carbon-intensive coal sector.6 Critics argue the move would significantly hinder progress in the fight against climate change particularly as coal still supplies over a third of global energy production and is responsible for up to 40% of global CO₂ emissions according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).7 Read also: Out of thin air: how Twelve is closing the carbon loop by turning emissions into products America’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and reduction in funding for green initiatives may be hampering the international cooperation needed to tackle the climate crisis at scale but the policy decisions won’t reverse the economic drivers which are already reshaping global sustainability efforts The dynamics are now shifting from policy-led progress to economics-led driven by environmental necessity and economic opportunity Over three quarters of new renewable energy capacity added in 2024 was cheaper than fossil fuels often undercutting fossil fuels due to technological advances and improved efficiency According to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) over three quarters of new renewable energy capacity added in 2024 was cheaper than fossil fuels.8 The economic advantage encourages continued investment in clean energy infrastructure.  The growing energy needs of technologies such as AI are driving demand for reliable and sustainable power sources further incentivising the shift towards renewables Innovation is at the forefront of advancing sustainability efforts globally through substantial investments, policy commitment, and technological advancements. The growing energy needs of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) The IEA forecasts electricity consumption for AI data centres will more than double by 2030 while AI places significant demands on the world’s energy systems it could also assist with new technologies to offset some of those demands such as driverless cars or detecting threats to infrastructure.9 Many corporations are transitioning to renewable energy not only to meet sustainability goals but to align with evolving consumer expectations and enhance brand reputation Those leading in decarbonisation efforts are poised to capitalise on emerging opportunities recognising the need for continued innovation towards more profitable and scalable sustainable technologies is projected to grow steadily over the next decade.10 Fossil fuels (comprising coal and oil) accounted for approximately 56% of global power generation in 2024 with renewable energy sources (including wind and solar) supplying a record 32% of global electricity according to a report by energy think tank Ember renewables and nuclear energy are expected to account for most of the global electricity supply with fossil fuels forecast to supply just 31%.11 Investors recognise the long-term value and resilience in environmentally conscious investments Government subsidies have long been a key driver in bringing down the cost of renewable energy technologies helping them compete with the heavily subsidised fossil fuel industry renewable energy is still viewed as environmentally beneficial and economically advantageous and this is driving continued investments into clean energy While increased tariffs may pose challenges to the renewable energy supply chain in the short-term given many components originate in Asia investors recognise the long-term value and resilience in environmentally conscious investments While it remains the world’s biggest carbon emitter China is also the world’s biggest producer of renewable energy holding a dominant position across clean technologies China is making substantial progress in the green energy transition due to strategic policymaking aggressive funding and innovation-driven research accounting for 32% of the world’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2024,12 it is also the world’s biggest producer of renewable energy holding a dominant position across clean technologies.13 Despite high levies from the Trump administration China’s strategic electrification efforts are not slowing China is rapidly transforming into the world’s first electrostate where electricity looks set to become the dominant energy carrier across all sectors This comes as Beijing accelerates its AI ambitions putting more pressure on already high demand for electricity China gained worldwide attention with the emergence of DeepSeek highlighting its growing influence in the AI space and the strategic importance placed on AI development in the country While the growing energy needs from AI present a challenge Investment is accelerating as more and more companies turn to solar wind and other clean energy solutions to power data centres sustainably And China is doing everything it can to reinforce its position as a global leader in the transition to sustainable energy The transition to a more sustainable economy persists The Trump administration’s policy changes particularly regarding tariff hikes and the environment have set the stage for a highly charged COP30 in the Amazon city of Belém later this year and will undoubtedly influence dynamics at the annual United Nations climate summit but they have not derailed the global transition to a low-carbon economy environmental and efficiency incentives.  The driving forces are no longer policy-led instead economic pragmatism is keeping sustainability on track: Trump has shifted the narrative around the climate transition Policy environments will be different going forward pace and milestones of the transition will evolve But we believe the end destination continues to be a net-zero economy – as the only model that is viable over the long term and that ultimately benefits from the stronger economic fundamentals Read more.
