DJ LeMahieu May Be Victim Of New Baseball, But He's Not Looking Back 

BOSTON — This isn't the ideal opportunity for analyzation. DJ LeMahieu isn't in reverse checking out least for the following not many weeks. There is no an ideal opportunity for the infielder to audit and ponder what turned out badly and directly in 2021. 사설토토

"I'm not sincerely attempting to investigate anything now in the season, I'll sort of delay until after the season and sort of go over the season, what I can improve at and reevaluate and set up an arrangement for next season," LeMahieu said before Friday night's urgent series opener against the Red Sox at Fenway. "That is not actually my concentrate at this moment." 

Be that as it may, LeMahieu himself is a concentration as the Yankees boil last minute in a nine-game stretch of must-dominate matches. The Yankees went into Friday night's down getting a handle on onto a one-game lead over the Blue Jays for the last American League Wild Card spot. They enter a stretch where they face the Red Sox, around here at Fenway where they are 1-6, then, at that point, face the Blue Jays in Toronto and end the season with the AL-East-driving Rays. 

For the following 10 days, LeMahieu's just spotlight is on ensuring the Yankees get that season finisher spot.

For the initial two years of his residency with the Yankees, LeMahieu was a stabilizer in the arrangement. His relentlessness helped the Bombers ride the rush of their smudgy sluggers somewhat simpler. 

This year, while as yet having OK numbers, LeMahieu has quite recently not had the option to bring the Yankees through the difficult stretches. 

LeMahieu had seemingly been the Bombers' hostile MVP the last two seasons, winning the American League batting title in 2020. This year, he's hitting a decent .268/.349/.363 with a .712 OPS and 10 homers, however that is a significant dropoff from the .327 and .364 with 26 and 10 homers, individually, he hit the beyond two seasons. 

Aaron Boone recommended Friday that LeMahieu was the survivor of MLB's choice to change the baseball for this season. 

"I believe he's been part of the gang that has been harmed by the baseball," the Yankees supervisor said. "I mean he's hit various balls where I'll turn upward on the board and they are hit 97-99 miles an hour and it's to the notice track. He's been one of those folks. That (additionally) rings a bell a great deal with (Kyle Higashioka). Higgy's hit various balls this year to the divider or smoked a few all out. I think part about that (slugging rate drop) has been a miss a small bunch of times this year, combined with the ball likely not going very as far." 

Another player who has all the earmarks of being influenced by the ball, which don't appear to fly as far, is Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres, who has encountered a sensational drop-off in power. 

Rawlings, which is somewhat claimed by MLB, extricated the strain on the first of three fleece wrappings inside the ball before this season. The organization's exploration accepts this change will cut down the "ricochet," somewhat. The ball is additionally 2.8 grams lighter, yet a similar size. 

The AP revealed that MLB conveyed a reminder to each of the 30 clubs before the season, refering to a free lab that tracked down the new balls will fly one to two feet more limited on balls hit more than 375 feet. MLB's balls are hand-sewn by laborers at the Rawlings plant in Costa Rica, which can bring about minor deviations underway. 

Boone additionally recommended that LeMahieu has been the casualty of some misfortune. 

"I show improvement over say his OPS numbers may recommend dependent on the nature of contact he's had. Be that as it may, I feel like he's been quite predictable here for us now for some time," Boone said. "He hasn't had a huge load of those three and four hit games, which presumably smothers (the numbers) a tad, yet I do feel like he's been extremely steady for us this year.
