DJ LeMahieu Looks Back To Old Self
2 years agoNew York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (toe) has been hitting, running and working on defense as an offseason regular at the team's player development complex, and his bat speed and swing appear to be back to pre-injury levels, according to hitting coach Dillon Lawson. "Last year with the injury, he couldn't load the way he wanted to, couldn't stay on the back side when he was getting into the way he started rotating into impact. None of that is there now. He's, at minimum, back and maybe a tick beyond that." LeMahieu missed the end of last season, including the playoffs, but the 34-year-old avoided surgery and should be fully ready for the start of the 2023 season as the Yankees' top-of-the-order spark plug.
