Yankees: Luke Voit dives into his dominant 2020 season and what changed

Without slugger Luke Voit, the New York Yankees might not have even competed during the 2020 regular season. His power and efficiency at the plate fueled a Yankee squad damaged with injuries in the outfield and in the pitching rotation. Without Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, and James Paxon for large chunks of the campaign, manager Aaron Boone had to rely on other players like Voit and Clint Frazier to pick up the load. They even dove into their youth ranks, elevating Deivi Garcia to the starting rotation.

Voit finished the year with a league-best and career-high 22 homers in just 56 games.
