DJ LeMahieu, on Friday afternoon, bore the look of a man searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.
Following a three-day break during which he tried to fix his swing, LeMahieu had returned to the Yankees lineup Thursday night,. LeMahieu, whose career batting average sits just below .300, struggled to think of the last time he had hit so poorly.
Instead, the engines meant to be powering the middle of the lineup are backfiring on a nightly basis — and LeMahieu is far from the only one. The way LeMahieu loads his swing — the weight distribution on his back leg — is “part of it,” he said, perhaps accounting for the pair of awkward swings he took Thursday night in which he landed on his back knee. LeMahieu is healthy, but could not give a definitive answer as to whether he’s compensating for habits he picked up last year while playing on a fractured foot.
“I’m just a big feel hitter and just compete and go out and hit. Going and looking at mechanics is, honestly, it’s really not fun. But it’s something I’m having to deep dive on for sure right now.”
