There hasn’t been much improvement in the Yankees’ offense since the arrival of Sean Casey as the new hitting coach, but DJ LeMahieu is one exception.
After slumping for much of the first half, LeMahieu has been a different hitter after the All-Star break., LeMahieu provided a reminder of how dangerous he can be with his first multi-homer game in over two years.
“I think Sean Casey has been a huge help for me,” LeMahieu said. “I relate to him really well. He has great, positive energy.” DJ LeMahieu connects on a fifth-inning home run, the first of his two homers, in the Yankees’ 6-2 win over the Rays.“I don’t think you have to be a .300 hitter to be a good coach,’’ LeMahieu said of Casey’s résumé as a standout offensive player during a 12-year major league career in which he finished with a .302 average. “We have similar approaches to the game and to hitting. A lot of stuff he said brings me back to other [rough] times in my career that I’ve come out of.
