To push this further the Yankees have put a total of 66 runners on base so far this year. They’ve left 49 of them on base. That means they’re leaving a whopping 74 percent of their base runners on base. That, my friends, is really terrible.

It’s less than a week into the season, but the Yankees already seem to have a bit of a problem. No, it’s not the injury problem, which is a huge problem obviously, it’s the fact that this team continues to struggle with leaving men on base. Left on base (LOB) is when a baserunner is stranded on base at the end of the inning. This includes a batter who hits into a fielder’s choice.

Through five games this year, the Yankees rank 29th in all of baseball with an average of 9.4 men left on base per game.
