Even when available, he struggled at the plate, slashing a meager .204\/.269\/.259 with two home runs in 228 plate appearances.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">His offensive decline was underscored by career-low marks in average exit velocity and hard-hit rate, while his 56.4% ground-ball rate ranked as the second-highest of his career and sixth-highest in MLB (minimum 220 plate appearances). Given his sprint speed ranked in the 20th percentile among big league position players, that batted-ball profile is a concerning trend.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Yankees originally signed LeMahieu to a two-year, $24 million contract in the 2018-19 offseason, a move that quickly became one of their most successful free-agent acquisitions in recent memory. Over those two seasons, he posted a stellar .336\/.386\/.536 line, earning back-to-back top-four finishes in MVP voting.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That success prompted New York to bring him back on a six-year, $90 million deal, spreading out the salary to mitigate luxury tax concerns rather than concentrating it over a shorter term. While LeMahieu never rediscovered his 2019-20 peak, he remained a reliable and versatile piece from 2021-23, batting .258\/.345\/.375 while providing solid defense across first base, second base, and third base.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Entering spring training, LeMahieu was expected to be the starter at third base for the Yankees.
