The Yankees know that Chris Carter possesses some of the most incredible power in Major League Baseball. The 2016 National League home run champion posted a new career best with 41 home runs last year. He also put up new career bests in hits, doubles, runs batted in and walks.
Surprisingly, his 206 strikeouts were not a career high, and that seems to be where Carter’s struggles lie. Despite being an all or nothing hitter, Carter’s natural swing doesn’t show it, but his stats unfortunately do.
Another issue many people have is where to put Carter in the field.
