Dear New York Yankees hitters,
First off, solid start to the season. 19-16 isn’t ideal, but first place in the AL East is first place in the AL East with or without Juan Soto batting in front of Aaron Judge.
Speaking of, let’s talk about Judge. Another great season in progress, this time batting over .400 with 11 homers, and it’s only May 6! The Yankees lead the American League in runs, batting average, and top all of baseball in home runs. As a result, the team is basically where we at ESNY expected them to be at this point: Still a strong AL contender, but with a rockier road ahead.
