Anthony Rizzo knows how slumps — and, really, the marathon of an MLB season — work.
When Rizzo finds a groove, like the Yankees first baseman did for the first 55 games of 2023, he feels like he’ll never get out again.
He went 0-for-4 against Boston’s Garrett Whitlock and Chris Martin, but both Rizzo and manager Aaron Boone insisted that his neck injury, which caused him to miss the Mariners series, has been fine physically.“It’s a six-, seven-game stretch that sucks, but six or seven games, 10 games, three weeks, isn’t going to define your season,” Rizzo said. “Just got to keep going.”Anthony Rizzo walks to the dugout after striking out in the first inning of the Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Against Whitlock on Friday, Rizzo’s first two at-bats occurred with runners on base, and both ended without any movement. DJ LeMahieu singled to lead off the first inning, but Rizzo struck out. That out, at least, marked progress, as its exit velocity marked Rizzo’s second-hardest ball in play since the slump began — trailing a June 2 groundout that Statcast tracked at 104.0 mph.
