DJ LeMahieu's Clutch Hitting Statistics With Yankees Are Fully Beyond Reason
By Charles Nason
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is proving that the team made the right decision in signing him this offseason. His two-year, $24 million deal is looking like an absolute steal.
LeMahieu has appeared in 56 games this season and is tied for the team's best batting average (.323) with third baseman Gio Urshela. He also leads the team in hits (72) alongside a number of other incredible stats.
One of LeMahieu's most dominant areas of play has been his hitting with runners in scoring position. With a RISP average of .491 on the season, LeMahieu is easily one of the most valuable hitters in the ENTIRE MLB this year.
With guys like Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit leading the way in terms of home runs, LeMahieu has been one of the biggest offensive providers in almost every other statistical category.
This leads us to one important question? What in the world does this man see when he comes up to bat with runners in scoring position?
Yup, that's it. A baseball he literally can't miss.
