On Sunday night following the Yankees’ regular season finale against the Miami Marlins, Bernie Williams took to social media to congratulate DJ LeMahieu on winning the American League batting title. LeMahieu is the first Yankee to accomplish this feat since Bernie in 1998, when he hit .339 in 128 games.
Congratulations to @DJLeMahieu on not only winning, but running away with both the 2020 AL and @MLB Batting Titles.
DJ- welcome to the club!! Since I first saw you in Spring Training last season, I have been awed at your preparation, approach, and performance at the plate, (1/3) pic.
