Mark DeRosa HEATED New York Yankees Def. Marlins, From cleanup to leadoff: Rizzo rolls for Yankees
In his first two games with the Yankees, first baseman Anthony Rizzo was the cleanup hitter. On Sunday, manager Aaron Boone decided to insert Rizzo in the leadoff spot.
Hitting leadoff is nothing new to Rizzo. He has a history of hitting first in the lineup when he was with the Cubs. In fact, in 66 games as a leadoff hitter, Rizzo has batted .321 (77-for-240) with 14 home runs and 38 RBIs.
“He is one of those guys who really doesn’t care where he hits,” Boone said. “I’m trying to balance out the lineup the best as possible. Hopefully he gets off to a good start today.”
