Yankee batters are struggling at the plate a lot more in 2021 than in previous years. Hits and home runs seem few and far between compared 2017-2020. And when they do hit home runs, they tend to be without men on base.
There have been very few games in which the Yankees’ hit total and number of home runs have been high.
