Holy cow, DJ LeMahieu. Fresh off his third All-Star Game appearance, the versatile infielder owns a slash line of .332/.378/.512, good for a wRC+ of 135. In a year where the Yankees have been forced to make do without many of its regulars in the lineup, LeMahieu has been consistently great.
Yet, it’s worthwhile to ask whether LeMahieu’s performance is sustainable or not. Prior to this season, LeMahieu has posted offensive numbers of this caliber only once—back in 2016, when he slashed .348/.416/.495 for a 130 wRC+. Outside of that, he’s been an average to below average hitter, depending on how much stock you take in the park factors included within wRC+.
