The Yankees have the second-worst team batting average in MLB
“There’s this common misconception — whether it’s about Yankee development, or baseball development in general — that we teach this swing, whether it’s just home run or strikeout and there’s nowhere in between,” Migliaccio said via
. “And that [is] the furthest thing from the truth. The last thing we want to do is really sacrifice contact to increase contact quality. There’s give and take there.”This season hasn’t just been about hitting home runs or striking out for the Yankees. Though their 176 home runs rank seventh in baseball, their 23 percent strikeout rate is actually in the middle of the pack.
It’s their lack of getting on base that’s negatively impacted the team’s success. This season, the Yankees are fifth from the bottom in on-base percentage . That’s a 20-point drop off from last season when their .325 OPS was tied for fourth in MLB. As a result of this, they’re 23rd in MLB with 538 runs scored, a pace of 686 runs over 162 games. That’s 121 fewer runs than last season when their 807 runs ranked second in MLB.
