The Yankees offense has come alive in the month of June! Winning six of nine games thus far, the Yankees are showing the American League East that they are coming back to life. The Yankees are a force to be contended with and the entire team recently has been contributing to their successes. The leader of this offensive drive: Carlos Beltran.
Carlos Beltran is having an amazing season so far to add to his Hall of Fame-worthy career. At age 39, he has been the most consistent hitter for the Yankees since Opening Day back in April. This is his 18th season playing in Major League Baseball and Beltran is looking healthier than ever.
This season, Carlos Beltran is currently leading the Yankees in hits, home runs, and RBIs. In 61 games, Beltran has recorded 61 hits, 14 doubles, 16 home runs, 44 RBIs and has a .573 slugging percentage. He is also second in batting average out of all Yankees players, currently having a .288 batting average.
In the last seven games, Beltran has been extremely hot at the plate. In 24 at bats, he has recorded nine hits, two doubles, four home runs, 12 RBIs and has scored seven runs. In the Yankees most recent series against the Angels, Carlos Beltran had a .467 batting average.
Beltran is a major reason why the Yankees are having successes offensively. If Beltran continues to play at this level, then he will definitely continue to lead the Yankees to more wins.
