The New York Yankees are in the midst of a brutal stretch of 23 games in 22 days. The back-to-back days with postponements during the series against the Texas Rangers only aggravated what was already set to be a demanding run. Between the doubleheader last Sunday against the Rangers, and the finale of a four-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays on the 29th, the Yankees won’t have a single off-day.
There was very little doubt about this ball club’s ability to hit over 162 games. The Yankees currently sit at the top of most hitting categories across all 30 teams, including second in OBP (.
