Looks \u2014 and at least for this night, the stats \u2014 can be deceiving.<\/p>\n

YES announcer Ryan Ruocco seemingly made a crack Monday about Rangers veteran Joc Pederson\u2019s physique, with the broadcast noting his awful season moments before his game-tying homer off Devin Williams in the ninth inning of the\u00a0Yankees\u2019 eventual 8-5 walk-off loss in 10 innings<\/a>\u00a0at Globe Life Field.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see the physique has definitely evolved for Joc,\u201d Ruocco said before Pederson pulled an 84-mph changeup into the right field seats to tie the game at 5-5.<\/p>\n

Pederson, 33, is now in his 12th season and has transformed over the years from a center fielder to a designated hitter.<\/p>\n

Like most 30-year-olds, he\u2019s seemingly put on some weight over the years.<\/p>\n
