The Yankees’ lineup has been hurt by lack of length, too much swinging and missing and remaining batting-average challenged.
The Yankees began the weekend as the only team not to lose a series in 2023. They had won two of three in each of their five three-game series and had split a four-game set against the Twins. The Yankees were 12-8 afterPerhaps it speaks to their winning DNA or their meh-or-worse opponents. But even manager Aaron Boone mentioned to me that he feels his club has been in survival mode until it can get key contributors back from an injured list stacked with 12 players.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa has managed just a .161 batting average and .373 OPS in limited plate appearances.was a coming attraction Cordero had four homers, but there is just too much swing-and-miss to trust for a whole season. I still believe in Cabrera and will address him in another section. Calhoun might lose his roster spot when Bader returns. Kiner-Falefa’s ability to run and defend several positions, including now center field, makes him passable as a 26th man.
Plus, to balance a righty-leaning lineup, the Yankees need lefty value from Hicks. But since left wrist surgery ended his 2021 season, Hicks’ slash line the past two years batting from the left side was .201/.322/.286, which included a 2-for-19 this season. DJ LeMahieu and the Yankees entered the weekend hitting just .201 against left-handed pitchers this season.The new rules have done little to reduce strikeout rates, which had remained near historic highs at 22.8. MLB batting average was up two points from last year to .245 and on-base percentage was up nine points to .321 while the Yankees were down in both categories to some large extent because their strikeout rate of 24.5 percent would tie their 2021 team record.
