Pitchers may have exposed a weakness in Luke Voit

Luke Voit is still rather new to MLB stardom as his career takes off in a Yankee uniform. He was traded to New York last year in a fairly lopsided trade with the Cardinals, who got Giovanny Gallegos and Chasen Shreve, both relievers, in return for the big first baseman. Voit dominated down the stretch in 2018, won the starting first-base job in spring training, and quickly became one of the best first basemen of 2019, picking up where he left off from last year. Batting .280 with 17 homers and 50 RBI in the first half, one could easily argue Voit got robbed of an All-Star roster spot.
