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,
New York manager Aaron Boone wasn’t the only one to comment on DJ Lemahieu’s at bat that turned out to be the winning run for New York as a couple teammates did as well including Clay Holmes who is New York’s closer, Anthony Rizzo first baseman and Jose Trevino who is one of New York’s catchers. What were their comments?
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.”
