Harrison Bader has not been very good at the plate in 2023. After an electric postseason run last year, his first chance at a full season in pinstripes has not gone as planned. In fact, the 29-year-old has followed it with his worst offensive season in the big leagues, particularly in the second half, and has been placed on waivers as a partial result. His plate discipline hit a wall in 2023, and while the elite defense is still the main attraction, his offensive struggles may point to an unfortunate truth, while making his future with the Yankees—and in general—all the more uncertain.
