The 2019 Yankees appear to be a more diverse offense, but they’re really not. All “Good” offensive categories have improved marginally, but a 1% change can leave a couple big moments in our minds that make things feel different.
Why does this team feel so different? The Yankees are among the best teams in baseball, but they were last year too. They have a ton of power this year - second in MLB in home runs and ISO - but of course they were powerful in 2018.
