It is quite obvious DJ LeMahieu has not been nearly as good as he was in 2019 and 2020. He recently got paid, but even after his free-agent payday, $15 million for a guy of DJ’s caliber and versatility is still a pretty good deal. Plus, he seems to be picking it up with the weather.
Over the last two weeks, LeMahieu is hitting .319 (15-for-52) and has hit three home runs. During that span he has had 47 at-bats (15.67 AB/HR) — he hit three home runs in 231 at-bats this season (77 AB/HR). This is a good sign, as it means he is hitting the ball in the air more often.
