Justin Choi | FanGraphs: The Yankees haven’t been the best in the league in terms of plate discipline, but it hasn’t mattered all that much (as my colleague Sam also alluded to yesterday). The team has the best wRC+ in baseball, and they also own the sport’s best record at 18-6 after reeling off 11 wins in a row. New York also leads the league in average exit velocity, hard-hit rate, and barrel rate. Hitting the ball hard leads the results, which is exactly what the Yanks are getting.
