Which slumping Yankees hitter has you the most worried?
The good vibes that were emanating from the Yankees clubhouse have quickly dissipated.A sterling start has turned sour, a fivegame losing streak bringing the Yankees to 87 after running an 82 record in their first ten certainly shouldn't be panicking, not so early in the season, and not considering literally every single one of the Yankees' seven losses has come in a close still, it's disheartening to see the team fall into midseason malaise form so culprits of this slump are not hard to pitching certainly isn't to blame, with the staff pacing the , it's a lineup that has struggled to find consistent production from many players not named Ben Rice, Aaron Judge after a couple weeks of offensive struggles Bobby Murcer Jersey, let's ask: which slumping hitter are you most worried about?It probably shouldn't be Judge, who, even if he doesn't quite match his 20242025 form this year, should still be expected to crush from here on it shouldn't be Trent Grisham either, whose paltry power numbers are belied by better underlying stats and a robust onbase focus, as it's been for the whole year so far, is probably towards the back half of the 's Jazz Chisholm Jr., who came into the year talking about 5050 seasons only to faceplant, swinging and missing at an alarming rate while making mindnumbing defensive 's Jose Caballero, who showed signs of life on Saturday but is still running a slash line so poor it's somehow making fans pine for the relative offensive prowess of Anthony list goes on, with Ryan McMahon combining to form a harrowing offensive duo with Caballero on the left side of the Yankee infield, his.4 batting average the worst mark on the whole there's Austin Wells, who hit his first homer yesterday, and in doing so barely dragged his OPS above. my money, the most concerning signs have come from that leftside infield ' quality defensive work at catcher give him more runway to play with at the plate, and Chisholm just has too much offensive skill to be this bad for neither Caballero nor McMahon has ever produced a fullseason of offense better than league average per wRC+, and nothing they've done this year signals that they're ready to come anywhere close to that I'm the Yankees, I'm feeling worried that half of the infield is going to need fullon renovations come the trade do you think? Which hitter has you the most worried after two weeks of floundering?
