With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Andujar, and several above-average hitters featuring in the New York Yankees‘ batting order, it’s hard to imagine they will struggle in 2019.
The Yankees had one of the best lineups in the league in 2018:
Last season, they set home run records (267) and racked up massive amounts of runs despite players like Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Brett Gardner struggling at the plate. The inconsistency of some batters didn’t affect the team as much as you’d think – 100 wins can attest to that.
When the playoffs rolled around, the hitting began to fall off, especially in the ALDS against the Boston Red Sox.
