Yankees Luke Voit needs to play a full season before first base is his

Luke Voit exploded upon the scene after being acquired by the Yankees in the summer of 2018. And while a strong start to last season was derailed in June due to a sports hernia, he struggled upon his return from the IL and was kept off the postseason roster.

Therefore, it’s only natural to wonder what Voit’s mindset is like as he enters the new year. Prior to missing the playoffs, Voit hit a measly .200/.319/.331 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 24 games.

However, during the MLB Winter Meetings, manager Aaron Boone told Kristie Ackert of the NY Daily News that he expects Voit to be healthy and ready to claim the starting first base spot.
