The Yankees have revealed a display of power this season that often renders their opponent both helpless and amazed. On one recent occasion, the team blasted four home runs in just one inning against a hapless, Jason Grilli. And they’re not only hitting the ball far, but they’re also hitting it hard as well, with balls soaring off the bat of Aaron Judge at record speeds.
It’s all fun to watch, and it’s the reason why most fans come to the ballpark. But by far, the power alone is not the reason why the Yankees are in first place in June.
