The New York Yankees need to limit their slumps when MLB returns to play.
Over the course of a 162-game season, all players go through hot and cold stretches. The best players in baseball are able to make adjustments quickly, allowing them to maintain a high average and gaudy numbers.
In a modern-day lineup filled with countless sluggers, the high home run rates are counteracted by numerous strikeouts, leading to long droughts for pure power threats at the plate. For the Yankees, their ability to stay out of these slumps will be crucial over the course of a 60-70 game season which will require teams to keep their foot on the gas pedal every single game.
