It's baseball, at the end of the day we're all grinding, we're all trying to get some runs on the board, Juan Soto said (h/t YES Network). We're hitting the ball hard, we hit the ball in the gap, they're making great plays, they're diving all over the place.
While a sputtering offense may give some Yankees fans flashbacks to last season, this year is far from the same. This Bronx Bombers team has far more firepower and a rejuvenated approach to the plate this year.
We've got a lot of guys that hit the ball hard and that happens, manager Aaron Boone said. Unfortunately, a lot of the best hitters, especially right-handed hitters, hit into the most double plays.
After having a 23.9% strikeout rate last season and a 9.3% walk rate, the pinstripes have dropped their strikeout percentage to 19.9% and upped their walk rate to 11.3%, the best mark in the major leagues.
