New York Manager Aaron Boone had this to say about DJ Lemahieu at bat!
“I really think he’s done better than his numbers suggest. You sometimes just watch his at-bats in big spots, ahead of Judge, understanding where he is in the lineup. We overuse the term professional hitter but it's so fitting He gives you such a pro at-bat. He’s so good in the field with the versatility to play all those different positions. He's been really consistent this year and [I’m] excited about how he’s played.”
Though,

Clay Holmes comment was It's pretty cool just to watch him just because people sometimes want a little more [emotion] out of him, but he's just the same no matter what,”“I think there's a huge lesson to be learned in that. No matter what's going on, he's the same. He works the same and believes in his process. I think [his mentality] is good for a lot of people.”
Anthony Rizzo’s comment was we love him. I love watching his at-bats and in a big situation, he’s going to come through. In every situation, you just have all the confidence in the world [in him],”He’s great to talk to, a great baseball mind, and a great person.”
Jose Trevino’s comment. was “[He’s a] clutch hitter, gets on base, hits some homers, puts some balls in the gap. It's impressive what DJ has done for a really long time.”
