New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo finally broke out of his home run slump against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, and his teammates gave him a special celebration.
The longest home run drought ofteammates did a little something special for him to celebrate.
You could tell how much this meant to Rizzo when he had a big smile around the bases, but the crowd was extra loud because they’ve also been waiting quite some time to see one of their top sluggers go yard. For a power hitter, slumping doesn’t always mean not getting that batting average where it needs to be. Hitting home runs becomes a key component of why you’re high in the batting order, which Rizzo usually is on a nightly basis. He’s earned that right over hisBut he had just 11 homers going into this contest on Sunday afternoon, meaning it’s been over three months since he’s been able to trot around the bases.
If the Yankees want to make a run at the postseason this October, they need players like Rizzo to get back on track offensively. They have the 22nd offense in the league in terms of batting average, and that’s improved since the start of the second half, as they were bottom three in all of MLB. A .301 on-base percentage makes them 27th in the league as well.
