In a noteworthy move at the 2022 trade deadline, the New York Yankees bolstered their defensive lineup by securing centerfielder Harrison Bader from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Bader’s Disappointing Performance in the 2023 Season
Unfortunately, a year later, Bader is witnessing a challenging 2023 season. His batting average is modest at .249, with a .280 on-base percentage (OBP), including seven home runs and 32 RBIs, and a weighted runs created plus (wRC+) of 91. His performance has been further impeded by two separate stints on the injured list, and recently, he had to miss several weekend games due to an injury from a hit-by-pitch.
