The 2019 Yankees have been built on the backs of unexpected contributors, and Cameron Maybin is no exception. Acquired for cash considerations from the Cleveland Indians due to injuries to four outfielders (five if counting Jacoby Ellsbury), the veteran outfielder has been having one of the hottest streaks of his career. He has a slashline of .321/.441/.321 with nine hits in his first eleven games, good for an OPS+ of 111, along with some eye-popping defense, albeit he does get dinged a bit for his range declining over the years.
So far, he has done everything the Yankees could have asked of him and then some, and has been instrumental in more than one victory in his brief time in pinstripes.
