The recipients of this year’s Heart and Hustle Award were announced Tuesday. We know who definitely didn’t win for the Yankees.

Gary Sanchez’s backup, Austin Romine, received the well-timed league honor given out by the Players Alumni Association for a player’s “passion, desire and work ethic demonstrated both on and off the field.”

A night earlier, Sanchez clearly lacked the Heart and Hustle in the Yankees’ 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay, as he was thrown out in the ninth inning after trotting to first base. That was after Sanchez loafed his way to retrieving a wild pitch — while Jake Bauers, on second base, rounded third and took home plate because of the lack of hustle.

“Austin is the consummate professional on and off the field,” Yankees assistant hitting coach P.J. Pilittere said in the release. “His work ethic and dedication to make not only himself but his teammates better is an admirable quality that is infectious throughout the Yankee community.”

Not that infectious, it seems.

This season, Romine is batting .270 with six home runs and 26 RBIs. The 29-year-old has been a near constant since his 2011 debut, typically battling for and typically winning the backup spot.

Alumni and active players will vote to select the final Heart and Hustle Award winner out of the 30 individual team winners (the Mets’ winner was Brandon Nimmo). The overall winner will be announced Nov. 8.

Brett Gardner was the overall winner in 2017.
