LUKE IS MY FIRST BASEMAN

In March, the big question was whether Luke Voit’s 2018 was for real. He’d mashed the ball at such an insane rate; the team hadn’t seen anything like it since Babe Ruth and Roger Maris. According to the YES Network, Voit joined Ruth and Maris as the third Yankee in history to have at least 11 home runs, 33 hits, and 23 runs in their first 33 games.

A great start to 2019, capped off by a mammoth bomb that reached the moon in Kansas City, began putting the debate on whether Voit was for real to rest.
