2021 Fantasy Outlook
LeMahieu eclipsed his superb first season in New York with a better one, posting a career-best .364/.421/.590 slash line, claiming the AL batting crown and finishing third on the MVP ballot. His 177 wRC+ ranked fourth in the league, and bested both players (Jose Ramirez and Jose Abreu) who finished ahead of him in the voting. He ranked third among qualified batters with an 89.9 Contact% while posting the second-best strikeout rate (9.7%). LeMahieu's barrel rate (2.9%) and average launch angle (2.3 degrees) hardly resemble that of a power hitter, but he took advantage of the Yankee Stadium right-field short-porch -- his 361-foot average HR distance was third-lowest in MLB -- to post a career-best 19.5 AB/HR. Replicating that rate is far from guaranteed, even after signing a long-term deal to stay in New York, but his bat-to-ball skills are elite and make LeMahieu one of baseball's most reliable hitters.

Returns to Bronx
LeMahieu and the Yankees agreed to a six-year, $90 million deal Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
LeMahieu has reached an entirely new level in his two years with the Yankees, hitting .336/.386/.536 overall, a significant step up from the .299/.352/.408 line he produced in seven years for the Rockies while calling Coors Field home. The deal will pay the veteran for his age-32 through age-37 seasons, so some age-related regression is to be expected, but $15 million per year is quite a cheap price to pay for the MVP candidate he's been so far during his time in the Bronx. He should look like a steal for at least the early part of the contract.

How does DJ LeMahieu compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

When LeMahieu signed with the Yankees last January, many expected his offensive output to decline without the benefit of 81 games at Coors Field. Instead, the 31-year-old put together an MVP-caliber season, ranking second in the American League with a .327 average and setting career highs in home runs (26), RBI (102), runs scored (109) and slugging percentage (.518). LeMahieu's flyball rate (26.2%) and average launch angle (6.7 degrees) don't fit the profile of a typical home-run hitter, but the veteran played the part by consistently mashing the ball, ranking 23rd in average exit velocity (91.7 mph) and posting a solid 40.4% hard-hit rate. LeMahieu's surprising 2019 home-run total should be viewed as a ceiling rather than an expectation, but his elite contact rate (85.5%) and presence atop New York's lineup bode well for another season of superb hitting and plenty of run-scoring opportunities.
