Luke Voit began his Yankees career in 2018 as a midseason acquisition, catching fire after coming over from the Cardinals to help lead the charge into the postseason. He mostly held up to expectations the following year, getting derailed only by a core injury that depleted his strength at the plate for a few months, and rose to new heights in 2020 when he led the league in home runs — despite a nagging foot injury that was particularly evident throughout the final month of the season.
2021 was set up to be a continuation of Voit establishing himself as one of the game’s premier power bats, until injuries once again hampered him.
