Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. commits at least one error in six consecutive games, establishing a rare MLB record. Multiple outlets report that he is the first player since 1992 to make an error in six straight contests.
Fox News further notes that, within the Yankees franchise, Lombard is the first shortstop since 1915 to have an error streak of six games. The Athletic highlights that his defensive reputation is a central part of why the streak stands out, noting that he had long been viewed for his fielding before the current run.
While the exact framing differs—league history versus Yankees franchise history—both accounts agree on the core facts: Lombard is a rookie shortstop for the Yankees, and he has reached a six-game error streak that is exceptionally uncommon in recent MLB history.
