Twelve games into the 2018 season, Didi Gregorius has not only been the best player on the Yankees, he’s been one of the best players in all of baseball. Sir Didi comes into today hitting .359/.471/.795 (239 wRC+) with three home runs. His +1.1 fWAR is tied with Matt Chapman for the highest in baseball. Yes, it’s early. That doesn’t change the fact Didi has been awesome thus far.
Gregorius, who turned 28 in February, has become a heart and soul Yankee in his three seasons plus 12 games in pinstripes. Remember how poorly things went early in 2015?
