New York Yankees are on fire in the ongoing season. Despite coming off a poor season in 2021, and even a dull free agency, The Bronx Bombers have emerged as the best team in 2022. Notably, winning 49 out of 65 games is no joke. But the Aaron Boone-led team has done wonders.

There is a reason the Yankees are playing such attractive games this season. They are not relying on certain players to win games for them. Instead, the versatility and maturity of their roster have been a huge plus for the Pinstripes’ successful run this season.

Whether it is offense or the defense, the Yankees have been the most balanced side in the entire MLB this season.

The Yankees pitchers have conceded just 187 runs in 65 games, less than three runs per game.
