DJ LeMahieu continues his fantastic season for the New York Yankees.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the Bombers second baseman has won the American League Player of the Month award for the month of June. The leadoff hitter for the Yankees definitely deserves the recognition as well.
Through 77 games this year, LeMahieu, 30, is hitting .341 with 12 home runs and 61 RBIs. Night in and night out, he’s proving his worth in the Yankees lineup and showing how effective of a leadoff hitter he can be.
If LeMahieu keeps consistently playing the way he’s been playing thus far in 2019, he could make a strong case to win the AL Most Valuable Player award.
