The New York Yankees have a greater history at first base than any other franchise. They have a nearly unbroken steak of stars stretching from Lou Gehrig all the way up through the present day. Luke Voit upholds this positional history with aplomb. Last season, he became the fifth Yankee first baseman to lead the American League in home runs.
Of course, he has yet to make his impact on the lineup in 2021, landing on the IL with a torn meniscus at the end of Spring Training. Without a reliable plan B at the position, the club struggled to score runs in April, getting virtually no production from the fill-ins.
