Yesterday, Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu had two hits in three at-bats to clinch his second batting tile.
LeMahieu finished the season batting .364, significantly beating last year’s champ and runner up Tim Anderson who finished at .322. LeMahieu becomes the first Yankee since Bernie Williams, in 1998, to win the American League batting title and only the fourth Yankee to lead MLB.
Also, DJ becomes the first player in modern MLB history to win a batting title in both leagues, as he had previously won the National League title in 2016 as a member of the Rockies.
