Ben Rice Finds His Stride for Yankees | New York Yankees News

Ben Rice is on fire for the Yankees, delivering clutch hits and powering their offense with a .333 average over his last 23 games, including a game-winning two-run blast against the Twins. Now locked into the leadoff spot against righties, he’s showing elite contact skills and strike-zone control — exactly what a top-of-the-order hitter needs. With 38 homers already this season (tied for second in the AL) and Judge back in the lineup, Rice’s surge couldn’t come at a better time. Manager Aaron Boone and Judge himself are raving about his consistency and power, and with Bellinger and García Jr. rounding out the top of the order, the Yankees may have one of the most dangerous lineups in baseball heading into the playoffs.
